in spite of; refusing to obey or respect something

The bouncing continues rhythmically as the student refuses to stop playing. Other children watch nervously from the sidelines as the confrontation unfolds. The student's body language shows complete disregard for the teacher's authority. refusing to obey or respect the established rules in spite of consequences

defiance는 고대 프랑스어 'desfier'(도전하다)에서 유래되었으며, 라틴어 'dis-'(떨어져서) + 'fidere'(믿다)의 합성어로 '믿음에서 벗어나다' 즉 '반항하다'는 의미가 되었습니다.
