STIGMATIZE, v.t.
1. To mark with a brand; in a literal sense; as, the ancients stigmatized their slaves and soldiers.
2. To set a mark of disgrace on; to disgrace with some not of reproach or infamy.
To find virtue extolled and vice stigmatized--
Sour enthusiasts affect to stigmatize the finest and most elegant authors, ancient and modern, as dangerous to religion.
