👎🗑️ des- (away) + preciable (valuable, from precio = price) → not worth a price
Despreciable comes from des- (negation) + preciable (worth prizing, from precio, price). Something with no worth is either negligible or, for a person or act, contemptible and despicable. English despicable shares the Latin root despicere, to look down on.
