'Sitting like this for a long time causes me great discomfort'.
Here's a little usage history that might help. Several usage commentators have, in the past, tried to convince their readers that "discomfit" means "to rout" or "to completely defeat" and not "to discomfort, embarrass, or make uneasy." In its earliest uses "discomfit" did in fact mean "to defeat in battle," but that sense is now rare, and the extended sense, "to thwart," is also uncommon. Most of the recent commentaries agree that the sense "to discomfort or disconcert" has become thoroughly established and is the most prevalent meaning of the word. There is one major difference between "discomfit" and "discomfort," though -- "discomfit" is used almost exclusively as a verb, while "discomfort" is much more commonly used as a noun than a verb.

I'm studying for the GRE and this word is part of the vocabulary. The example sentence in my book says," The young man was discomfited being the only male in the play." Discomfit is a Transitive verb meaning it should be used with an object. Now the sentence above is not a good example of discomfit being used with a direct object because it's actually a compound verb "was discomfited" making it intransitive. "being the only male in the play," is an adverb describing why the man is uneasy in the first place. So here's a sentence i just used. I think it is correct, but if there are better examples I'd like to know them as well. "Lets catch the earlier movie as to not discomfit my plans for the rest of the day." In this sentence, discomfit is used with the direct object "my plans" and is therefore operating as a transitive verb. Hope this helps. Look forward to more input on the topic.
