Morphology
disillusioned = disillusion (semi-transparent) = dis + illusion + ed
The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'disillusion' meaning having been disillusioned.
Etymology
The word disillusioned breaks into dis- and illusion; dis- means 'not' or 'remove' and illusion means 'a false idea' or 'something that is not what it seems'. So, to be disillusioned is to have a false idea taken away and to feel disappointed or lose faith in something you once admired.
