Morphology
disappointed = disappoint (opaque) = dis + appoint + ed
Formation of an adjective from the verb 'disappoint' using the regular past-participle/adjectival '-ed' is straightforward.
Etymology
The word disappointed comes from the prefix dis- ('not' or 'away') and the verb appoint ('to give or set'), so it once meant an agreed or promised thing was taken away. That's why today to be disappointed is to feel sad or let down when something you hoped for does not happen.
