Verb
hold cheap (third-person singular simple present holds cheap, present participle holding cheap, simple past and past participle held cheap)
(transitive) To have a low esteem for (someone or something); to hold in contempt; to look down upon.
Then welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand, but go Be our joys three-parts pain Strive, and hold cheap the strain Learn, nor account the pang dare, never grudge the throe. Robert Browning
