An archaic term for suspicion or distrust; a feeling that something is wrong or that someone cannot be trusted.
From Old French dispicion, from Latin suspicio (suspectus 'looked at' + -io). Related to suspicion but with a prefix variation; largely obsolete by modern English.
Dispicion appears in Shakespeare and earlier literature, and tracking how we stopped using it shows how English borrowed 'suspicion' directly and gradually forgot this older variant—language is always losing and gaining words.
