"despise" would be "to spurn" which is more consistent with the Arabic meaning
"to set aside".

Ishinan: Actually, in this instance, the former would
mean: holding up one's head with an assumption of superiority over someone,
behaving haughtily towards someone, subduing & oppressing someone. (from
Semitic trilateral root: bzw)
While the latter would mean: vehement hatred and
/or hatred mixed with enmity and evilness of disposition. (from Semitic
trilateral root: shn')
Best regards,
Ishinan Ishibashi
