appoint (v.)
late 14c., "to decide, resolve; to arrange the time of (a meeting, etc.)," from Anglo-French appointer, [β¦]
The etymological sense is "to come to a point" (about some matter), therefore "agree, settle."

Dissapointed becomes then something like "unresolved". Interesting
Language is revealing
Reminds me of my Mark Passio bingeing days.
Who is he?
https://www.youtube.com/@MarkPassio He leverages etymology and digging into word meetings quite a bit throughout his work. My favorite observation of his, or whoever he learned it from: "Government" = Govern + ment, as in mentis, mind. Govern mind = mind control. (!!) π€£
Didnβt know. This is very interesting and thinking about it not at all surprising π
