in spite of

Preposition

 * 1)  Despite, irrespective of, notwithstanding.

Usage notes

 * is at once three words and one preposition; as may be seen in the 1898 quotation above, it is not separated during preposition-stranding (hence “in spite of which ”, never *“of which in spite”), but it may sometimes be separated by an adverb (as in “in spite also of”).
 * The phrase is often misused where would be appropriate.
