OutrageA grave injury; a serious wrong. This is a generic word which is applied to everything, which is injurious, in great degree, to the honor or rights of another.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Grave
A place where a dead body is interred. The violation of the grave, by taking up the dead body, or stealing the coffin or grave clothes, is a misdemeanor at common law.
Injury
Any legal harm, wrong or damage done to a person's body, property, rights or reputation, and that the law recognizes as deserving of redress.
Wrong
An injury; a tort a violation of right. In its most usual sense, wrong signifies an injury committed to the person or property of another, or to his relative rights, unconnected with contract; and these wrongs are committed with or without force. But in a more extended signification, wrong includes the violation of a contract; a failure by a man to perform his undertaking or promise is a wrong or injury to him to whom it was made.
Word
Construction. One or more syllables which when united convey an idea a single part of speech.
Degree
1) Descents. This word is derived from the French degre, which is itself taken from the Latin gradus, and signifies literally, a step in a stairway, or the round of a ladder. 2) measures. In angular measures, a degree is equal to sixty minutes, or the thirtieth part of a sine. 3) persons. By degree, is understood the state or condition of a person.
Honor
1) High estimation. A testimony of high estimation. Dignity. Reputation. Dignified respect of character springing from probity, principle, or moral rectitude. A duel is not justified by any insult to our honor. Honor is also employed to signify integrity in a judge, courage in a soldier, and chastity in a woman. To deprive a woman of her honor is, in some cases, punished as a public wrong, and by an action for the recovery of damages done to the relative rights of a hushand or a father. 2) English law.
