负面现在分词作为准介词使用,最初和正确的写法是两个单词,14世纪后期, notwiþstondynge “尽管,不顾”来自 not 和动词 withstand 的现在分词。它具有 with 的旧“反对”意义。这是中世纪拉丁语 non obstante “没有阻碍”的借译,字面意思是“不妨碍”,来自 obstans 的与格,动词 obstare 的现在分词“站在对面”(见 obstacle)。作为副词,“然而”,作为连词,“尽管事实如此”,从15世纪初开始使用。

In spite of and despite, by the strength of the word spite, point primarily to active opposition: as, in spite of his utmost efforts, he was defeated; and, figuratively, to great obstacles of any kind: as, despite all hindrances, he arrived at the time appointed.
