Etymology

The word dissatisfaction originated from the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of', and the word 'satisfaction'. It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. The concept of dissatisfaction has been present throughout history, as humans have always sought improvement and change when not satisfied with their current state. The word reflects the universal human experience of wanting more or better than what is currently available.
