contempt with a sneer attached — disrespect that wants you to know it's deliberate
means To treat someone or something with open contempt — to reject or mock as worthless or beneath consideration.
from From Old French 'escarnir,' to mock or deride, which English shortened to 'scorn' in the medieval period. The French word likely came from a Germanic root (a cousin of Old High German 'skern,' meaning mockery or jest), carried into Romance speech by Frankish settlers — so the word itself is a small act of cultural borrowing that ended up meaning disdain.
