Depudorate

/dɛˈpjuːdəreɪt/ verb

Definition

to remove or eliminate pudency or shame; to make shameless or to deprive of modesty.

Etymology

From Latin 'de-' (away) plus 'pudor' (shame/modesty), with '-ate' as a verb ending. This is an extremely rare, archaic term formed by classical Latin word-building patterns.

Kelly Says

This word hasn't been used in centuries, but it reveals how Renaissance scholars loved to create new words from Latin roots to describe psychological states—'depudorate' would be their term for losing all sense of shame!
