Morphology
The meaning 'feeling sad or displeased because something did not meet your expectations' is directly derivable from the adjective 'disappointed' (unhappy when expectations are not met) with 'with' marking the target or cause. This adjective + preposition pattern is common and predictable across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Disappointed with comes from a simple picture: someone points at a prize but then the prize or aim is taken away, leaving them disappointed and with nothing. That's why it means 'feeling sad or let down because something did not meet your hopes'.
