Déçue

Déçue is a French word that translates to "disappointed" in English. It is the feminine past participle of the verb "décevoir," meaning "to disappoint." The masculine form of the adjective is "déçu."

It can apply to a wide range of situations, from minor letdowns to significant emotional distress.
