Hello:
---
[the boy might have just saved a black person; his father seemed
envious]
[...] his father was gnawing the true bitter irremediable bone of all
which was dismatchment with time, being born too soon or late to have
been himself sixteen and gallop a horse ten miles in the dark to save
an old nigger’s insolent and friendless neck.
Intruder in the Dust
William Faulkner

“dismatchment": is there any dictionary word for it??
Thanks.

Obviously a combination of displacement and mismatch, coined to describe
the feeling of having been born into the wrong time or misplaced in time.
