Origin

Middle English: from Old French despire, from Latin despicere, from de- 'down' + specere 'look at'.

Despise comes via Old French despit from Latin despicere, from de- ‘down’ and specere ‘look at’. Despicable ‘deserving to be despised’ (mid 16th century) comes from the same root, while spite (Middle English) is a shortening of the French.
