Origin:
The word "indignity" derives from the Latin noun "indignitas," which referred to unworthiness, dishonor, or disgrace. It is thought to be related to the Proto-Indo-European root *dheigh-, meaning "to choke" or "to suffocate." This suggests that the original sense of the word was related to being deprived of breath or honor.
Over time, the meaning of "indignity" evolved to encompass a broader range of experiences and behaviors that could cause someone to feel humiliated or ashamed. It is now commonly used to describe acts that violate a person's dignity or self-respect.
