slightingly

• ظرف قديم يعني 'باحتقار' أو 'بازدراء أو عدم احترام'. كان يُستخدم لوصف كلام أو سلوك ينقص من قدر شخص أو شيء أو يتعامل معه كأنه غير مهم. في الاستعمال الحديث استُبدل إلى حد كبير بكلمة 'باحتقار'، وإن كان الظرف نفسه يُعد قديمًا.

An archaic adverb meaning 'in a slighting manner' or 'with disdain or disrespect.' It was used to describe speech or behavior that belittles or treats someone or something as unimportant. Now largely replaced by 'slightingly' in modern usage, though the word itself is considered obsolete.
