Which word doesn't belong? apprehend - comprehend - misprision - misprize - prison - surprise It's easy to see the prehendere connection in [apprehend]( and [comprehend]( whereas you may be surprised that [surprise]( is from prehendere (via Anglo-French susprendre, meaning "to capture" or "to take by surprise"). [Prison]( too, is from prehendere by way of Anglo-French. And [misprision]( comes to us by way of Anglo-French mesprisun ("error, wrongdoing"), from mesprendre ("to take by mistake"), itself from prehendere. The only word that's out of place is [misprize]( meaning "to despise" or "to undervalue." It's ultimately from Latin pretium, meaning "value," but—in a trick move that perhaps only English could pull off—misprize has also given us a related noun meaning "contempt, scorn," in the form of an etymologically distinct [misprision](.
