    词根词缀法
    de-前缀表示“向下”(比如degrade,grade是年级的意思,degrade表示降级,往下降低级别),spit表示“吐口水”(这是模仿吐口水的声音,拟声词)
    联想:向下吐了口口水表示蔑视。
    或者按照如下记忆:
    词根de-下降,向下,往下+spite←-spec-看,连起来就是往下看,鄙视,看下的意思。

    小知识

    Despite is used as a preposition when something happens even though it might have been prevented by something else. You might go see a movie despite hearing a negative review of it.

    Despite is just one letter away from despise, and they actually share a root: the Latin verb despicere, meaning “to look down on scornfully.” Despite came to mean “contempt” or “scorn” in English, though that use as a noun has mostly dropped out of use. The phrase “in despite of” gradually got shortened to the preposition despite and lost its scornful quality. If you accomplish something despite the obstacles in your way, there's no need to feel spiteful about it.
