vergognefrom Latin verecundia ('reserve', 'modesty', 'shame', 'discretion'). There existed in Old French a semi-learned form vergonde (12th century), from which come the words dévergonder, dévergondage, dévergondé. On the other hand, the words vérécondie and vérécondieux (directly formed from the Latin verecundia) appeared in the 16th century.
