[1913 Webster]

possible he 'll scorn it; for the man . . . hath a
contemptible spirit. --Shak.
Syn: Despicable; abject; vile; mean; base; paltry; worthless;
sorry; pitiful; scurrile. See Contemptuous.
Usage: Contemptible, Despicable, Pitiful, Paltry.
Despicable is stronger than contemptible, as despise
is stronger than contemn. It implies keen
disapprobation, with a mixture of anger. A man is
despicable chiefly for low actions which mark his
life, such as servility, baseness, or mean adulation.
A man is contemptible for mean qualities which
distinguish his character, especially those which show
him to be weak, foolish, or worthless. Treachery is
despicable, egotism is contemptible. Pitiful and
paltry are applied to cases which are beneath anger,
and are simply contemptible in a high degree.
[1913 Webster] |

(gcide) | Contemptibleness \Con*tempt"i*ble*ness\, n.
The state or quality of being contemptible, or of being
despised.

[1913 Webster]

[1913 Webster]
Rome . . . entertained the most contemptuous opinion of
the Jews. --Atterbury.
Syn: Scornful; insolent; haughty; disdainful; supercilious;
insulting; contumelious.
Usage: Contemptuous, Contemptible. These words, from
their similarity of sound, are sometimes erroneously
interchanged, as when a person speaks of having "a
very contemptible opinion of another." Contemptible is
applied to that which is the object of contempt; as,
contemptible conduct; acontemptible fellow.
Contemptuous is applied to that which indicates
contempt; as, a contemptuous look; a contemptuous
remark; contemptuous treatment. A person, or whatever
is personal, as an action, an expression, a feeling,
an opinion, may be either contemptuous or
contemptible; a thing may be contemptible, but can not
be contemptuous.
[1913 Webster] |
Contemptuously
