To disappoint is literally to do away with what was (
or was taken to be )
appointed ;
hence the peculiar pain from hopes thus dashed to the ground .

a much stronger term ,
describes a most distressing form of disappointment ,
as in the case of Tantalus ,

To tantalize is to visit with the bitterest disappointment --
to torment by exciting hopes or expectations which can never be realized .
