Yes, except for the fact that 上から目線 is a noun while 見下ろす is a verb. The word 上から目線 has only been in use the last several years.

MMM, maybe the word is supposed to be 失う(うしなう)? Without looking at the book (or wherever you got it from, lol), it's the only thing I can think of.

I'm not MMM but I do agree with you.
