Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Middle French honte, from Old French hunte (“dishonour”), from Early Medieval Latin haunta, borrowed from Frankish *haunitha (“disdain, scorn, ridicule”), from Proto-Germanic *hauniþō (“humiliation”), from Proto-Indo-European *kaw- (“to be evil, make evil”). Cognate with Old High German hōnida (“dishonour”), Middle Dutch hoonde (“dishonour”), Old English hīenþ, hīenþu (“humiliation”). More at hean.
