What would the noun form for despise be?

My current two ideas are despite and derision.

According to Google, the etymology of despite is

Middle English (originally used as a noun meaning ‘contempt, scorn’ in the phrase in despite of): from Old French despit, from Latin despectus ‘looking down on,’ past participle (used as a noun) of despicere (see despise).

For `derision`, I get >late Middle English: via Old French from late Latin *derisio(n-)*, from deridere ‘scoff at.’
Thus, I think that `despite` makes more sense based on its etymology, but what would be generally accepted?
