Definition calumny

Etymology

From Late Middle English calumn?e (“false accusation, slander; (law) objection raised in bad faith”), borrowed from Old French calomnie (“slander, calumny”) (modern French calomnie), or directly from its etymon Latin calumnia (“false statement, misrepresentation; false accusation, malicious charge”), perhaps related to calvor (“to deceive”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *?elh?- or *?h?l-. The English word is a doublet of challenge.

The verb is derived from French calomnier (“to slander”), from Late Latin calumni?re, from Latin calumpni?r?, calumni?r?, present active infinitive of calumnior (“to blame unjustly, misrepresent, calumniate; (law) to accuse falsely, bring false information against”), from calumnia (see above) + -or.
