Stoops to grant
Deigns is the third-person singular of deign, meaning to condescend or lower oneself to do something considered beneath one's dignity: She rarely deigns to speak to the interns.
The word carries a note of superiority—real or perceived—and often appears sarcastically: He finally deigns to join us.
