Definition
A negative opinion or judgment; the feeling that something or someone is wrong or unacceptable. The state of not approving or endorsing.
Etymology
Formed from 'dis-' (not, opposite of) plus 'approval,' which comes from Latin 'approbare' (to approve, prove). The prefix 'dis-' reverses the meaning, creating the opposite of approval. This formation became common in English by the 18th century.
Kelly Says
Disapproval is like giving something a thumbs down - it's the opposite of approval. Think of a stern teacher's disapproving look when you haven't done your homework!
