Opprobrium
Manage episode 234045266 series 2492929
Opprobrium is a noun that means public disgrace.
Our word of the day comes directly from Latin. It combines the prefix ‘O-B,’ meaning ‘against’ with probrum (PRO broom) which means ‘disgraceful act.’
Public officials who get caught taking bribes get no symphony from me. I say let them spend the rest of their careers in opprobrium.
