verb /əˈbeɪs/
The Word, Explained
To lower, as in condition in life, office, rank, etc., so as to cause pain or hurt feelings; to degrade, to depress, to humble, to humiliate.
"to abase the eye"
Close cousins: downgrade, lower, reduce, degrade
Tricky because the repeated A trips up guesses that assume five unique letters.
