Morphology
dissatisfaction = satisfaction (transparent) = dis + satisfy + ion
The meaning is directly derived from 'satisfaction' with the negative prefix 'dis-' meaning lack of or absence of satisfaction.
Etymology
Dissatisfaction breaks into dis- and satisfaction, where dis- means 'not' (as in disagree) and satisfaction is the feeling when something is 'enough' or makes you 'pleased'. So dissatisfaction is the feeling of not being pleased or not having enough, which is why it means being unhappy with something.
