The word "Despiteous" is a rare adjective that is seldom used in contemporary English language. It is spelled as /dɪsˈpaɪtəs/, with the stress on the second syllable. The word is derived from the combination of two words, "despite" and "tous", which represents a negative feeling or attitude towards someone or something. The usage of this word is largely confined to literary or poetic contexts. While it might not be a commonly used word, it still retains its meaning as one to describe a person, organization, or situation which exudes condescendence and arrogance.
