DISPRAISE — [Noun] Blame, reproach, or disapproval expressed towards someone or something. From Old French despreisier ("to blame, despise"), derived from des- ("dis-") + preisier ("to praise"). Unlike "criticism" (which may be measured or constructive) or "disparagement" (which diminishes by degrees), dispraise is a direct strike, a wound left by the withdrawal of esteem. It is the curled lip of a mentor reviewing a failed pupil’s work, the cold silence of a parent who expected better, or the public rebuke of a leader who has fallen from grace—not just judgment, but judgment that stings with the memory of what might have been praised.
