despite
This preposition is used to introduce a contrast, indicating that something happened even though there was an obstacle or a reason for it not to happen. It carries a neutral to slightly formal tone and is more concise than the phrase "in spite of," which is its direct synonym.
While "despite" is often used with a noun or a gerund, it cannot be followed directly by a clause. To connect it to a full sentence, the phrase "the fact that" must be inserted to maintain grammatical correctness.
