REVILE Meaning and Definition

1. Revile is a verb that refers to the act of using abusive, insulting, or scornful language towards someone or something. It involves vehemently criticizing or expressing strong disapproval, often with the intention to demean or belittle the target. When one reviles another, they engage in a form of verbal assault, attacking their character, behavior, or qualities in a highly critical manner.

   The term "revile" implies a deliberate and conscious effort to harm or degrade someone through verbal means. It is often driven by deep-seated resentment, anger, or a desire to provoke a negative reaction from the recipient. Reviling may occur in personal or professional contexts, such as during confrontations, arguments, or online disputes.

   Reviling can cause emotional distress, humiliation, and damage to one's reputation. It stands in contrast to constructive criticism, which aims to provide feedback for improvement or address specific issues in a more diplomatic and considerate manner. In extreme cases, reviling can be considered a form of emotional abuse and harassment, as it seeks to undermine or demoralize the person being targeted.

   To revile is an act that is generally considered undesirable and uncivilized in interpersonal communication. It can often escalate conflicts and strain relationships, as it tends to fuel animosity and aggression between individuals.

2. To treat with opprobrious and contemptuous language; to upbraid.

Etymology of REVILE

The word "revile" entered the English language in the late 16th century. It derives from the Latin verb "revilis", which means "back" or "again" (re-) and "vilis" which means "cheap" or "lowly". The prefix "re-" in Latin signifies repetition or reversal. Therefore, "revile" originally meant to lower or detract in value or standing, to treat or speak of someone or something as of little worth or contemptible. Over time, the term's meaning has evolved to connote strong criticism, abusive language, or verbal attack on someone.
