Answer 5

To disdain means to view something as so far below oneself, that one hates it. It comes from the proto-indo-european root "dis-" meaning "a lack of" (as in dissatisfied, disheartened, etc.) and "dain," which is an offshoot of the same word that grandfathered the modern day "deign," which means to feel appropriate or worthy.
