See subject. By mistress, I mean the definition “an illicit lover outside of wedlock, female.” Is there a male equivalent?
the closest I can figure for disappointment is “pleasant surprise” but it’s 2 words, and doesn’t really convey the meaning. I don’t suppose you can say “Wow, that movie was really appointing!” can you?
“Disappointed” means that there were expectations, and they were not met. “Pleasantly surprised” does not seem to be the opposite of that; the opposite would be that expectations were met, not that they were exceeded.
For the opposite of “disappointment,” I would suggest “serendipity,” that is, “the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for.”
That is one interpretation, and in fact Merriam Webster gives the antonym of “disappoint” as “satisfy.” However, I find that unsatisfying. Another interpretation would be that if you are disappointed, what you found is less than what you expected; so that the opposite should indicate that you found more than you expected.
