This word is made up of 'Diskussion' (discussion) and 'Runde' (round/group). Here, 'Runde' refers to a group of people sitting in a circle or coming together. So it is literally a round in which people discuss.

discussion
'die Diskussion' and 'die Diskussionsrunde' are closely related because in both cases people talk about a topic and exchange opinions. 'Diskussion' names the conversation itself. It can be spontaneous, short, or private. 'Diskussionsrunde' more often means an organized meeting or event with several people, often with a clear topic and sometimes in front of an audience. The words can be confused because a 'Diskussionsrunde' always includes a discussion. But not every discussion is automatically a 'Diskussionsrunde' (panel discussion).
