disfavor

This term carries a heavy weight of social or political consequence, often implying a shift in status rather than a simple lack of liking. When used in the context of authority, it suggests a precarious position where one has lost the protection or grace of a superior, leading to professional or social isolation.

As an uncountable noun, it describes a general state of disapproval. Because it is uncountable, it cannot be pluralized or counted with numbers; instead, it is modified by adjectives like widespread or deep, or used in phrases such as in disfavor to indicate a specific condition of being disliked.
