Question

ignominious If Attila the Hun was truly murdered by his bride on their wedding night, it was a most ignominious death for a warrior. ˌɪgnəˈmɪniəs

Accepted Answer

(1) Marked with shame or disgrace; dishonorable. (2) Humiliating or degrading. The Latin nomen could mean both “name” and “good reputation,” and even today we can say that someone who has been disgraced has “lost his good name.” With its negative prefix ig-, ignominious indicates the “namelessness” that goes with shame or dishonor. A person who suffers an ignominious fate may die nameless and forgotten. In the former Soviet Union, party leaders who fell out of favor, even if they avoided being imprisoned or executed, became nonpersons. Their names were removed from official records and history books and they were treated as if they had never existed
