Morphology
disrespectful = respectful (transparent) = dis + respect + ful
Adding 'dis-' to 'respectful' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'not respectful' or 'showing lack of respect'.
Etymology
Disrespectful starts with dis- meaning 'not', has respect meaning 'care or honour', and ends with -ful meaning 'full of'. So it says 'not full of respect', which is why disrespectful means 'rude' or 'showing a lack of respect'.
