No. It is a prefixed past participle used as a verb or adjective.

The verb is continue, the past tense and participle is continued, and the prefix dis- (meaning apart or away) is used to indicate a negative action, as technically you cannot uncontinue something, only cease or stop.

Yes, "discontinued" is a compound word made up of the prefix "dis-" and the root word "continued."
