Common Misspellings for DISPLEASE

Etymology of DISPLEASE

The word displease originated in the late 14th century from two Old French words: des- meaning not and plaisir meaning to please. It was directly borrowed from the Old French term desplaisir. The prefix dis- in English denotes a negative or reversing force, while pleasure evolved from the Latin word placere meaning to please. Thus, displease literally means not to please or to cause dissatisfaction or unhappiness.
