Definition
The act of treating someone disrespectfully or the experience of being humiliated, or a reduction in rank or status.
Etymology
From 'abase' (verb) + '-ment' (noun-forming suffix), following French word-building patterns to create a noun for the action and result of abasement.
Kelly Says
'-ment' nouns often describe big emotional or social impacts—abasement isn't just feeling bad, it's a serious loss of standing that might take time to recover from!
