Late Middle English (in the sense 'blacken, make dark'): from Latin denigrat- 'blackened', from the verb denigrare, from de- 'away, completely' + nigrare (from niger 'black').

To denigrate someone is to blacken their reputation. The original meaning of the word, in the late Middle Ages, was ‘to make black or dark in colour’; the modern sense developed in the early 16th century. The root of the word is Latin niger ‘black’.
