Today's Word "misprize"
"What was it that enabled him, short of being a monster with visibly cloven feet and exhaling brimstone, to misprize so cruelly a nature like his wife's..." -- Henry James, 'Madame de Mauves'
Misprize comes from Middle French mesprisier, from mes-, "amiss, wrong" + prisier, "to appraise."
