disreputability

/dˌɪsɹɪpjˌuɾəbˈɪlᵻɾi/ noun

The state of being disreputable.

Word Origin Disreputability comes from dis- 'apart, away' and repute, which traces back to Latin putare 'to think, consider.' Repute is what people think of you, so disrepute is a bad reputation. The same root putare gives us compute (think together, calculate), dispute (think apart, argue), and impute (attribute a thought to someone).
