ὄνειδ-ος, εος, τό,
1. reproach, rebuke, censure, blame, esp. by word, προθέουσιν ὀνείδεα μυθήσασθαι Il. 1.291; λέγ' ὀ. 2.222; ὀ. βάζεις Od. 17.461; εἶχε ὄ. καὶ ἀτιμίην was in disgrace, Hdt. 9.71; ὄ. ὀνειδίζειν S. Ph. 523; ὄ. φέρει it brings reproach, Pl. R. 590c; ὄ. τινὶ περιθεῖναι Antipho 5.18; περιάψειν Lys. 21.24; ὡς ἐν ὀνείδει by way of reproach, Pl. Grg. 512c, cf. R. 431b (without ὡς Smp. 189e); ὀνείδει ἐνέχεσθαι, συνέχεσθαι, Id. Lg. 808e, 944e: pl., ὀνείδη κλύειν A. Pers. 757; κολάζειν ὀνείδεσι with censures, Pl. Lg. 847a; ὀνείδη ἔχει τὰ μέγιστα Id. R. 344b; ὀ. ἐπιφέρειν Arist. EN 1123a32.
2. matter of reproach, disgrace, σοὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ.. κατηφείη καὶ ὄ. Il. 16.498; σοὶ μὲν δὴ.. κατηφείη καὶ ὄ., εἰ.. 17.556, cf. Hdt. 2.36; ἐμῇ κεφαλῇ κατ' ὀνείδεα χεῦαν Od. 22.463; τέκνοις ὄ. λιπεῖν E. Heracl. 301; ὀνειδῶν καὶ κακῶν μέστους D. 22.31; ὄνειδός [ἐστι] c. inf., E. Andr. 410: c. gen., τὸ.. πόλεως ὄ. the disgrace of the city, A. Th. 539; αὑτῆς ὄ. S. OC 984; ὄ. Ἑλλάνων Id. Aj. 1191 (lyr.); τὸ Λυσίου ὄ. Pl. Phdr. 277a; Oedipus calls his daughters τοιαῦτ' ὀνείδη, S. OT 1494, cf. Ar. Ach. 855, D. 21.132.
3. the statement of Eust. 88.15, 647.36 that ὄ. meant originally any report of one, reputation, character, is not borne out by the passages he cites — ὄ. οὐ καλόν S. Ph. 477; Θήβαις κάλλιστον ὄ. E. Ph. 821 (lyr.); καλὸν ὄ. Id. Med. 514, IA 305, which are plainly ironical. (Cf. Skt. nindati, nid- 'insult', Goth. ga-naitjan 'slander', Lett. naids 'hatred'.)
ὄνειδος, ὀνείδους, τό (from ὄνομαι to blame, to revile), from Homer down, reproach; equivalent to shame: Luke 1:25. (The Sept. chiefly for חֶרְפָּה; three times for כְּלִמָּה disgrace, Isaiah 30:3; Micah 2:6; Proverbs 18:13.)
