Etymology of DE SPITES

The word "despite" has its origins in the Old French word "despit", which was derived from the Latin word "despectus". "Despectus" essentially means "contempt" or "disdain". Over time, "despit" evolved into the Middle English word "despite", still retaining its meaning of "contempt" or "malice". Eventually, the word "despite" expanded its usage to also mean "in spite of" or "regardless of", as it is often used today.
