Treated with disrespect or stripped of honor and reputation; shamed or humiliated.
From Old French 'deshonor,' combining 'des-' (opposite) and 'honor' (from Latin 'honorare'). The prefix 'dis-' intensifies the removal of something valuable—your honor.
In many cultures, being 'dishonored' was literally worse than death—samurai would commit suicide rather than live dishonored, which shows how seriously different civilizations took reputation as part of identity!
