Morphology

disliked = dislike (transparent) = dis + like + ed

The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'dislike' and straightforwardly means 'not liked' or 'regarded with dislike'.

Etymology

Disliked is made from the prefix dis- and the simple word like, where dis- means 'not' and like means 'to enjoy' or 'find pleasant'. So, disliked literally means 'not liked' or seen with aversion.
