As luck would have it, today's word on Wordsmith was denigrate.

denigrate (DEN-i-grayt) verb tr.

   To defame or belittle.

[From Latin denigratus, past participle of denigrare (to blacken),
from de- (completely) + nigrare (to make black), ultimately from
Indo-European root nek(w)t (night). Other words derived from the
same root are night, nocturnal, and equinox.]
