verb
To lower in rank, dignity, or self-respect; to humble or degrade.
Abase describes a deliberate lowering of a person's standing or pride, whether the person does it to themselves or has it forced on them by others. It carries a stronger, more formal tone than simple synonyms like lower or humble, and appears often in older or elevated writing about honor and status. A person can abase themselves through excessive flattery, or a ruler can abase a rival by stripping away titles and privileges.
