Correct spelling, explanation: the word disappear consists of two parts: the prefix (dis-) and the root (appear). It originates from Middle English disapeeren. The first element is very common in this language and it’s used for expressing reversal. You can’t put an additional -s letter in this verb, because it wouldn’t make any sense. Disappear is the only correct version and dissappear is a mistake.
