Etymology: "Displease" entered English from Old French "desplaisir," built from "des-," a prefix that reverses or negates, and "plaisir," meaning "to please." The word is therefore literally the opposite of pleasing, and the noun "displeasure" comes from the same French stock. "Displeasured" is less common and was formed inside English by adding the past-participle ending "-ed" to the noun "displeasure." That turns the noun into a verb meaning to cause displeasure, and then into an adjective describing someone who has been so affected. The sense of the word comes straight from its parts: a feeling that something has failed to satisfy.
