It's an interesting discussion about that title... "disdain" is indeed somewhat weak.

Hm. I'd actually say it makes me more inclined to think "contempt" is right after all.

I didn't quote what happened immediately afterward, as that is a major spoiler

Time of Contempt is closest to original meaning

Perhaps, but there's been a weakening of "contempt" in English over the past few generations

Still, seeing as many as six consonants together can be intimidating for some of us
