"etymology_text": "PIE word\n *h₁epi\nLearned borrowing from Latin opprobrium, obprobrium (“a reproach, a taunt; disgrace, shame; dishonour; scandal”, noun), from opprobrō, obprobrō (“to reproach, upbraid; to taunt”) + -ium (suffix forming abstract nouns). Opprobrō, obprobrō are derived from ob- (prefix meaning ‘against’) + probrum (“disgrace, shame; abuse, insult”, noun) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pro- (“forward; toward”) + *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”), in the sense of something brought up to reproach a person).\nThe plural form opprobria is borrowed from Latin opprobria.\ncognates\n* French opprobre\n* Italian obbrobrio\n* Portuguese ouprobio (obsolete), opróbrio\n* Spanish oprobrio (obsolete), oprobio",

"etymology_text": "PIE word\n *h₁epi\nLearned borrowing from Latin opprobrium, obprobrium (“a reproach, a taunt; disgrace, shame; dishonour; scandal”, noun), from opprobrō, obprobrō (“to reproach, upbraid; to taunt”) + -ium (suffix forming abstract nouns). Opprobrō, obprobrō are derived from ob- (prefix meaning ‘against’) + probrum (“disgrace, shame; abuse, insult”, noun) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *pro- (“forward; toward”) + *bʰer- (“to bear, carry”), in the sense of something brought up to reproach a person).\nThe plural form opprobria is borrowed from Latin opprobria.\ncognates\n* French opprobre\n* Italian obbrobrio\n* Portuguese ouprobio (obsolete), opróbrio\n* Spanish oprobrio (obsolete), oprobio",
