Etymology

The word 'displeasured' comes from the root 'pleasure,' which derives from the Latin 'dēlectāre,' meaning to please or delight. The prefix 'dis-' is used to indicate a negation or reversal of the root meaning. Therefore, 'displeasure' originally denotes the absence or negation of pleasure. In English, it has evolved to reflect feelings of annoyance or dissatisfaction. This term has been in use since at least the late 18th century, signifying emotional discomfort or discontent in response to situations or behaviors that do not meet one’s expectations.
