I'm curious as to whether the word "spite" has ever been described.
Along with "except," "apart from" and "in spite of / despite" applied to verbs and to nouns - "despite of Michael, we won the match" or "despite failing the bout, he earned honour by halting the fight rather than kill an unarmed, helpless foe half his size."
