Etymology of VILIPEND

The word "vilipend" comes from the Latin term "vīlipendere", which is a compound of two Latin elements: "vīlis" meaning "cheap" or "worthless", and "pendere" meaning "to weigh" or "to value". When combined, "vīlipendere" essentially means "to value something as cheap" or "to hold in contempt". The term was then borrowed into Old French as "vilipender", and eventually made its way into English as "vilipend".
