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",
