What is the definition of "disdain?"

Answer by  Dean (4035)

Disdain is an attitude or emotion that conveys displeasure with someone or something. For the most part, the word is used with regard to a particular way of looking at something: "She looked upon him with great disdain." "Disdain" implies that you feel contempt or scorn for the individual or the object.

Disdain is to look down on someone or to feel somewhat disgusted by something. It is a much stronger feeling than to simply dislike someone or something.
