The quality of being contemptible; the state of deserving contempt or being worthy of scorn.
From 'contemptible' (from Latin 'contemptibilis') plus the noun-forming suffix '-ity.' Latin 'contemnere' (despise) + '-ibilis' (capable of being) created the adjective, which then took '-ity.'
This noun is rarely used because English speakers prefer to say 'contemptibleness' instead—the '-ity' version sounds overly formal even for academic writing.
