Derogation

/ˌdɛrəˈɡeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act of detracting from or diminishing the reputation or importance of someone or something. It involves disparagement that lessens worth or standing.

Etymology

From Latin 'derogare,' meaning 'to ask away' or 'to detract from' (de- 'away' + rogare 'to ask'). Originally used in legal contexts for repealing parts of laws, it evolved to mean any action that takes away from someone's status or reputation.

Kelly Says

Think of 'rogare' (to ask) - when you derogate someone, you're 'asking away' their good reputation! It's like asking people to take away their respect for that person, piece by piece.
