disrespectable

/dˌɪsɹɪspˈɛktəbəl/ adj

Not respectable.

Word Origin Respect comes from Latin 'respicere' (to look back at, consider), from 're-' (back) + 'specere' (to look). Disrespectable means not worthy of being looked back at with regard. The root 'specere' is incredibly productive: 'spectacle,' 'spectator,' 'inspect,' 'prospect,' and 'suspect' all share it.
