contumely (KON toom lee) Though it looks like an adverb, this word is a noun that means “rudeness” or “arrogance.” You don’t hear it much today, except if you’re reading a nineteenth-century novel or if you’re in a courtroom, where it is used to describe behavior that constitutes being in contempt of court. The adjective form is “contumacious.”
- “If you continue with this contumely,” Woolsey asserted, “I shall not have to take you home from the ball. Such discourteous remarks are inappropri-ate, especially from a respectable girl.”
- The defendant’s outburst of hostility toward the judge was considered contumacious behavior, and he was severely punished for it.
