A state of being unknown or deliberately avoiding fame and public recognition.
From anti- (against) + fame (from Latin fama meaning reputation or report). This modern word reflects contemporary attitudes toward celebrity and public attention.
Some of the most influential people in history have been antifame figures—like J.D. Salinger, the author of The Catcher in the Rye, who lived as a recluse for decades, or various anonymous artists, programmers, and scientists who changed the world from obscurity without seeking recognition.
