Contempt is the belief that a person or a thing is beneath consideration, worthless or deserving scorn. The commonwealth of being despised, dishonored and shamed.

The legal term means that a person has not suitably responded to an order of a court, or to an order of the legislature, and is being charged with a crime for his refusal.
