what's the definition of in spite?

Question

any sentence with the word in spite

Answer 1

Although “in spite of” is perfectly standard English, some people prefer “despite” because it is shorter. Be careful not to mix the two together by saying “despite of” except as part of the phrase “in despite of” meaning “in defiance of.”

Answer 2

The word "in spite of" is the same as "despite", "although", "nevertheless", "however". It is a conjunction between two parts of a sentence, carrying the opposite meaning.

Example: "I continued running, in spite of the pain." ( Thus opposing the first and the second part of the sentence).
You could also substitute in spite with nevertheless or any other word that carries the same meaning. So (" Although I was in pain, I continued running"; " I was in pain, however, I continued running")

Hope that helped :)

Answer 3

in spite- notwithstanding, or without taking account of something

ex. In spite of everything I did for her, she completely ignored me and backbite behind my back.
