Morphology
disapproval = disapprove (transparent) = dis + approve + al
This is a standard noun formation from the verb 'disapprove' meaning the act or state of disapproving.
Etymology
Disapproval comes from the prefix dis- meaning 'not' and the word approve meaning 'to agree or accept', much like dislike where dis- makes the opposite. So, disapproval is literally 'not approval', which is why it means a feeling of dislike or objection.
