Origin:
The word "indignation" first appeared in English in the early 16th century. It is derived from the Latin word "indignari," which means "to be indignant." The Latin word is formed from the prefix "indi-," meaning "not" or "opposite," and the verb "gnari," meaning "to know."
The original meaning of "indignari" was "to be unaware or ignorant." However, over time, the meaning of the word changed to "to be offended or indignant." This change in meaning is likely due to the fact that people who are offended or indignant are often unaware of or ignorant of the reasons for their offense.
