Aithochroi

/ˌeɪθəˈkroʊi/ noun

Definition

In ancient Greek political theory, citizens whose character and reputation were considered disgraceful or infamous.

Etymology

From Greek 'aischros' (shameful) and 'chroia' (complexion or character). The term was used in Athenian democracy to describe people of disreputable character who were barred from certain civic duties.

Kelly Says

Ancient Greeks had a legal concept for social outcasts that literally means 'shameful-faced'—they didn't just exclude bad people, they created official language to mark them as morally stained.
