adj. no longer believing in the value or appeal of something previously admired; disillusioned.
The word "disenchanted" originates from the prefix "dis-" (meaning "remove" or "reverse"), combined with "enchant" (from Old French enchanter, meaning "to delight or bewitch"), and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past participle). Historically, "enchant" traces back to Latin incantare ("to chant a spell"), reflecting its magical connotations. Over time, "disenchanted" evolved metaphorically to describe the loss of wonder or disillusionment, mirroring the literal idea of breaking a spell.
