Condescending

adjective/kon-duh-SEN-ding/

Acting as if you are better or smarter than the people around you.

Our coach is never condescending; she treats even the youngest players with respect.

'Condescending' looks down on you from above, like descending stairs to sneer at someone below.

Use it for a superior, talking-down attitude, not just for being rude or mean in general.
