Treated with contempt or scorn; refused or rejected as unworthy.
From disdain (Old French desdeign) + -ed (past tense/adjective suffix). The word entered English in the 14th century from Romance language sources.
The verb 'to disdain' is strongest in literature and older texts—modern speakers more often say 'looked down on' or 'scorned,' but disdain carries a particular aristocratic dismissiveness that sounds more cutting.
