Spite \Spite\, n. [Abbreviated fr. despite.]
   1. Ill-will or hatred toward another, accompanied with the
      disposition to irritate, annoy, or thwart; petty malice;
      grudge; rancor; despite. --Pope.

            This is the deadly spite that angers. --Shak.

   2. Vexation; chargrin; mortification. [R.] --Shak.

   {In spite of}, or {Spite of}, in opposition to all efforts
      of; in defiance or contempt of; notwithstanding.
      ``Continuing, spite of pain, to use a knee after it had
      been slightly ibnjured.'' --H. Spenser. ``And saved me in
      spite of the world, the devil, and myself.'' --South. ``In
      spite of all applications, the patient grew worse every
      day.'' --Arbuthnot. See Syn. under {Notwithstanding}.

   {To owe one a spite}, to entertain a mean hatred for him.

   Syn: Pique, rancor; malevolence; grudge.

   Usage: {Spite}, {Malice}. Malice has more reference to the
          disposition, and spite to the manifestation of it in
          words and actions. It is, therefore, meaner than
          malice, thought not always more criminal. `` Malice .
          . . is more frequently employed to express the
          dispositions of inferior minds to execute every
          purpose of mischief within the more limited circle of
          their abilities.'' --Cogan. ``Consider eke, that spite
          availeth naught.'' --Wyatt. See {Pique}.

Spite \Spite\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Spited}; p. pr. & vb. n.
   {Spiting}.]
   1. To be angry at; to hate. [Obs.]

            The Danes, then . . . pagans, spited places of
            religion.                             --Fuller.

   2. To treat maliciously; to try to injure or thwart.

   3. To fill with spite; to offend; to vex. [R.]

            Darius, spited at the Magi, endeavored to abolish
            not only their learning, but their language. --Sir.
                                                  W. Temple.
