obloquy
1 ENTRIES FOUND:
obloquy
noun
ob·lo·quy ˈä-blə-kwē 
plural obloquies
Did you know?
English speakers can choose from several synonyms to name a tongue-lashing. Abuse is a good general term that usually stresses the anger of the speaker and the harshness of the language, as in "scathing verbal abuse." Vituperation often specifies fluent, sustained abuse; "a torrent of vituperation" is a typical use of this term. Invective implies vehemence comparable to vituperation but may suggest greater verbal and rhetorical skill; it may also apply especially to a public denunciation, as in "blistering political invective." Obloquy, which comes from the Late Latin ob- (meaning "against") plus loquī (meaning "to speak"), suggests defamation and consequent shame and disgrace; a typical example of its use is "subjected to obloquy and derision."
Example Sentences
a victim of hatred and obloquy unable to mount a rational defense of her position, she unleashed a torrent of obloquy on her opponent
