The word "despiser" derives from the Middle English term "despisen", which ultimately came from the Old French word "despire". "Despire" is a combination of the prefix "des-", indicating reversal or negation, and the Latin word "spirare", meaning "to breathe" or "to blow". The term originally had a literal meaning of "to breathe out" or "to exhale forcibly". Over time, it gained a metaphorical sense of "to look down upon with contempt", which is the predominant meaning of "despiser" today.
