Definition
Causing someone to feel awkward, ashamed, or self-conscious, usually in a social situation.
Etymology
From Spanish 'embarazar' (to hinder), which came from Portuguese 'embaraçar'; it entered English in the 17th century to describe feeling hindered by shame.
Kelly Says
Embarrassment might feel awful, but it's actually a sign of high social intelligence—you only feel embarrassed if you understand what others think of you, which requires complex perspective-taking ability.
