Word Origin.
Middle English, mid-14th century

"Descant" came from the Old French word "deschant" by way of the medieval Latin word "discantus" ("part-song, refrain"). In certain church music traditions, such as those performed by the famous all-male choir of Westminster Abbey, a boy sings a soaring high descant that floats above the rest of the music.
