Note :
Notwithstanding was ,
by Johnson and Webster ,
viewed as a participle absolute ,
an English equivalent of the Latin non obstante .
Its several meanings ,
either as preposition ,
adverb ,
or conjunction ,
are capable of being explained in this view .
Later grammarians ,
while admitting that the word was originally a participle ,
and can be treated as such ,
prefer to class it as a preposition or disjunctive conjunction .
[
1913 Webster ]
Syn :
In spite of ;
despite .
Usage : {
Notwithstanding }, {
In spite of }, {
Despite }.
Of these ,
only notwithstanding can be used postpositively ;
as ,
I will go ,
the weather notwithstanding .
With respect to meaning ,
these words and phrases are often interchanged ,
but there is a difference between them ,
chiefly in strength .
Notwithstanding is the weaker term ,
and simply points to some obstacle that may exist ;
as ,
I shall go ,
notwithstanding the rain .
In spite or despite of has reference primarily to active opposition to be encountered from others ;
as , "
I '
ll be ,
in man '
s despite ,
a monarch ; " "
I '
ll keep mine own ,
despite of all the world ." --
Shak .
Hence ,
these words ,
when applied to things ,
suppose greater opposition than notwithstanding .
We should say . "
He was thrust rudely out of doors in spite of his entreaties ,"
rather than "
notwithstanding ".
On the other hand ,
it would be more civil to say ,
"
Notwithstanding all you have said ,
I must still differ with you ."

1913 Webster PJC ]
