What does ODIUM mean in Scrabble?
noun
formalliterary
Widespread hatred, contempt, or disgrace brought upon a person because of something they have done.
Odium falls on someone as a public reaction rather than a single person's private dislike, arising when an action is seen by many as shameful, corrupt or cruel. Writers often pair the word with verbs such as incur, bring or attract, describing how a scandal or betrayal exposes a person to general condemnation. The word entered English from Latin odium, meaning hatred, the same root that gives odious, and it has kept a formal, somewhat literary tone ever since.
