Explanation: This word is an inflected form of the adjective 'ὑπερόπτης' (hyperoptēs), meaning 'arrogant' or 'disdainful'. It describes someone who looks down on others or holds them in contempt. The prefix 'μεν-' (men-) is a particle often used to emphasize or contrast, but in this context, it appears to be a scribal error or a very unusual compound, as 'μεν' is typically a separate particle. The word itself describes a state of being overly proud or contemptuous.
