Incorrect spelling

disapoint

Incorrect spelling, explanation: this spelling is incorrect because the Anglo-French root has already been spelled with double p: appointer, as in the modern spelling disappoint. Then, the prefix dis- is added to show the negative meaning. Therefore disapoint is incorrect and the correct form is disappoint.


Correct spelling

disappoint

Correct spelling, explanation: disappoint is the correct form because it originates in Anglo-French appointer. Double p probably comes from prefix a- added to the word point. Prefix dis- was added to show the negation. Taking all of the above into consideration disappoint is the correct form and disapoint is a misspelling.
