I don't know how long the noun usage has been around, but I remember hearing
it as a child (20 years ago), so I'd say you just need to update your
dictionary. (1913 Websters, really?)
I've never heard of "a disconnect". It is the opposite of connect.
Here's an example of how it's used:
There's a disconnect between reality and political theory.
(Yep, some people still say incorrectly - "unmount" when it should be
"dismount")
Then shame on those who wrote Unix, then, for the umount command.
(The same command for OpenVMS is DISMOUNT.)
