vilify
The -pend of vilipend oughtn't to be confused with pendeō (pendēre, pependī) 'to hang (down), be suspended' (not to be confused with Latin American Spanish pendejo from VL *pectinculus 'small toothed comb', later 'short hairs' < pecto 'to card, comb'), rather it is from pendō (pendere, pependī, pensum) 'to weigh (out), pay; consider'. I suggest that a new adjectival form, vilipensive, be coined tout de suite.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
