verb/desdeˈɲaɾ/
to disdain, scorn, despise
“En otros tiempos, los principes desdeñaban las alianzas, prefiriendo vender sus soldados a la parte mas jenerosa, y traficando vilmente con la sangre de sus súbditos.”
Inherited from Latin dedignāre. Cognates with English disdain, and French dédaigner. Though it is a cognate with the French word, the French dictionary lists dédaigner as coming from Old French desdeignier, from Vulgar Latin *dignāre, from Latin dīgnārī (whence Spanish dignar (“to deign”)).
