The word "thất ý" specifically conveys the meaning of one's intentions or wishes ("ý") being unmet or failing ("thất"). It describes an emotional state resulting from that failure. While it overlaps with "thất vọng" (disappointed), "thất ý" can sometimes carry a nuance of being personally displeased or vexed about a specific matter not going one's way, rather than a general loss of hope. It is a slightly more literary or formal term than the very common "thất vọng".
