The relation to 'interesting' is fairly clear, but 'disinteresting' is rare in modern English and its exact nuance can vary between 'not interesting' and 'causing loss of interest'.

Disinteresting is made from the negative prefix dis- which means 'not', and interesting, from interest meaning 'wanting to know or pay attention'. So, disinteresting means 'not interesting' — something that makes people lose interest or feel bored.
