Yes and no. Once was.
Early 15th century from M.Fr. desappointer "undo the appointment, remove from office," from Des- "dis" + appointer "appoint." Modern sense of "to frustrate expectations" (late 15c.) is from secondary meaning of "fail to keep an appointment." Related: Disappointing.

∙ 14y agoYes. Words such as "distort" and "disfunctional" make it negative. However, the prefix "dis-" is about 50-50 in terms of negative and positive usage. In this sense, it is truly a mix of both. In other words, it is both negative and positive.
