Etymology
1. 1434, from M.Fr.
desappointer "undo the appointment, remove from office," from
des- "dis" +
appointer "appoint." Modern sense of "to frustrate expectations" (1494) is from secondary meaning of "fail to keep an appointment."
2. From Middle French desapointer (compare French désappointer). The word originally meant to "dispossess of appointed office", and eventually broadened to mean "to frustrate the expectations or desires of" and "defeat the realization or fulfillment of". See: French '
désappointer'.
