What exactly is discommendation?

To me, it seems that when Worf was discommended by the High Council, he essentially was erased from Klingon society. Even to the point of people not speaking his name and denying his existence lol.
 
It is basically a copy of Shunning and becoming a untouchable. However as a note, even a Klingon that is under Discommendation, still has the right to take personal honor to revenge a family member, as Worf did later.

Pretty much.

Plus, they took away his keys to the executive bathroom.

Discommendation is when ST writers use the dictionary to find an archaic English synonym for censure, or blame.
