Verb

deign (third-person singular simple present deigns, present participle deigning, simple past and past participle deigned)

  1. (intransitive) To condescend; to do despite a perceived affront to one's dignity.
  2. (transitive) To condescend to give; to do something.
  3. (obsolete) To esteem worthy; to consider worth notice.
