<upd_detl>I'm not sure despise => hatred. For example Wordnet says of it:
v : look down on with disdain; "He despises the people he has to work for"; "The professor scorns the students who don't catch on immediately" [syn: {contemn}, {scorn}, {disdain}]</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>GG5 & 中辞典 - both have "despise" as the first gloss.</upd_refs>

<upd_detl>Is 中辞典 not just an abridged version of GG5? Regardless, I disagree with them.

Oxford: "Feel contempt or a deep repugnance for"
Cambridge: "to feel a strong dislike for someone or something because you think that that person or thing is bad or has no value"
Macmillan: "to hate someone or something and have no respect for them"
---
Here are the 3 top example sentences from Oxford, Cambridge, and Merriam-Webster's entries for despise.
---
"He despised himself for being selfish"
"She despised him for the way he treated her sister"
"She was despised as a hypocrite"
---
Compare with the examples sentences for 侮る in daijs, prog, and E-DIC
---
簡単な問題だと侮ってはいけない
侮って油断するな
子供の好奇心を侮ってはいけない
侮れない相手だ
---
侮る would not be used to translate any of the English sentences, nor "despise" for the Japanese ones.</upd_detl>
