Today's word is vilify, spelled V-I-L-I-F-Y.

Vilify is a verb that means to lower in estimation or importance. It can also mean to utter slanderous and abusive statements against, to defame. Here is the word used in a sentence by Evan Peter Smith in the Zanesville, Ohio Times Recorder.

"But her daughter denies the allegations against her mother. Instead, she believes the person who made the initial complaints was merely looking to vilify her mother after her own termination."

The word vilify came to English by way of the Middle English and Late Latin words derived from the Latin adjective vilis, meaning "cheap" or "vile." It first appeared in English in the 15th century. Also debuting during that time was another verb that derives from vilis and has a similar meaning: vilipend. When they were first used in English, both vilify and vilipend meant to regard someone or something as being of little worth or importance. Vilipend now carries an additional meaning of "to express a low opinion of somebody," while vilify means, more specifically, to express such an opinion publicly in a way that intends to embarrass a person or ruin his or her reputation.
