Disdainful (adjective)

According to the web, disdainful means showing contempt or lack of respect. This word could be found in the story ” The Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell. For example, “Mrs. Hale began to arrange the dirty pans under the sink, which the county attorneys disdainful push of the foot had deranged.” When I first came across this word I thought it meant heavy or a strong push because it messed up the pans under the sink. when I looked up disdainful I realized that my definition of it was also connected to the real definition because it showed a lack of respect of how the attorneys treated them. They did not care how they treated them as long as they found the clues.
