How to use "Infamy" in context?
Though the English word "infamy" is archaic, it still retains its definition of extreme or shocking disgrace. This Middle English word derives from the Latin infamia, meaning "an injury done to the name or character of someone". While the term typically refers to public figures or events, it can also be used to describe harmful or life-threatening actions. For example, the bombing of the USS Maine in 1898 was an infamous act of aggression that left 23 Americans dead. Today, the term is often associated with criminals or infamous high-profile politicians.
Infamy often has a negative effect on individuals and societies.
