disenchant
Pronunciation: /ˌdisenˈCHant

Free (someone) from illusion; disappoint: he may have been disenchanted by the loss of his huge following

How often did a French nobleman really mean "disenchanted" when he met some dull peer with the common greeting, "I am enchanted to meet you." Je suis enchanté de faire votre connaisance.
[That was one of the high school French lessons which has stuck with me, I guess.]
