despisement (countable and uncountable, plural despisements)

1. contempt, despisal
   • 1603 [c. 100 CE], Philemon Holland, “Of the Tranquillity and Contentment of Mind”, in Plutarch's Moral Essays‎, London: J. M. Dent & Sons, translation of Moralia by Plutarch, published 1911, pages 172–173:

     Much feeding upon flesh and liberal drinking of wine, maketh (I must needs say) the body able and strong, but the mind feeble and weak. Likewise, the continual and excessive care both in getting and keeping goods, may well augment riches and increase our substance: but surely it is the contempt and despisement of worldly wealth that is a great help and means to learning and philosophy.
