In Play: I think we use this word mostly as a near synonym of tyrant today: "Manley Guy, our manager, has no people skills and runs the office like a despot." It can be used around the house in a similar way: "Mom! You're such a despot! Why can't I get a tattoo?" The key factor that goes into the making of a despot is despotism. The adjective is despotic or despotical, and the adverb is despotically. Today's Good Word comes with a panoply of derivatives.
