Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., a passionate cigar smoker, once had lunch with a beautiful woman at La Côte Basque in New York. "At the end of an excellent lunch I lit up a cigar," he recalled, "and a man at the next table objected to my smoking."

Did Schlesinger kindly extinguish the cigar? Not exactly. "I was FULL OF INDIGNATION," he explained. "I pointed out this was a fine Havana cigar - and he should be grateful being within smelling range!"

WORD ORIGIN

Indignation comes from the Latin indignatio(-onis), which has the same meaning as in English. This noun is derived from the verb indignari, which means "to regard something as outrageous." Indignari stems from indignus, meaning unworthy (in = not + dignus = worthy).

The above verse from the Book Of Esther is but one of many Bible passages that refer to indignation.
Luther's original translation from 1545 uses the phrase "ward er voll Zorns über Mardochai."

Although the King James Version refers to "full of indignation", different translations can be found in other English versions:

- he was filled with wrath against Mordecai (English Standard Version)

- This made Haman really angry (Contemporary English Version which applies a more simple style)

- he was filled with rage against Mordecai (New International Version)

- then is Haman full of fury against Mordecai (Young's Literal Translation)
