[1913 Webster]
Note: Notwithstanding was, by Johnson and Webster, viewed as
a participle absolute, an English equivalent of the
Latin non obstante. Its several meanings, either as
preposition, adverb, or conjunction, are capable of
being explained in this view. Later grammarians, while
admitting that the word was originally a participle,
and can be treated as such, prefer to class it as a
preposition or disjunctive conjunction.
[1913 Webster]
Syn: In spite of; despite.
Usage: Notwithstanding, In spite of, Despite. Of these,
only notwithstanding can be used postpositively; as, I
will go, the weather notwithstanding. With respect to
meaning, these words and phrases are often
interchanged, but there is a difference between them,
chiefly in strength. Notwithstanding is the weaker
term, and simply points to some obstacle that may
exist; as, I shall go, notwithstanding the rain. In
spite or despite of has reference primarily to active
opposition to be encountered from others; as, "I'll
be, in man's despite, a monarch; " "I'll keep mine
own, despite of all the world." --Shak. Hence, these
words, when applied to things, suppose greater
opposition than notwithstanding. We should say. "He
was thrust rudely out of doors in spite of his
entreaties," rather than "notwithstanding". On the
other hand, it would be more civil to say,
"Notwithstanding all you have said, I must still
differ with you."

understanding
(devil) | UNDERSTANDING, n. A cerebral secretion that enables one having it to
know a house from a horse by the roof on the house. Its nature and
laws have been exhaustively expounded by Locke, who rode a house, and
Kant, who lived in a horse.
His understanding was so keen
That all things which he'd felt, heard, seen,
He could interpret without fail
If he was in or out of jail.
He wrote at Inspiration's call
Deep disquisitions on them all,
Then, pent at last in an asylum,
Performed the service to compile 'em.
So great a writer, all men swore,
They never had not read before.
Jorrock Wormley
