Embrace.

Our word umbrage, and three or
four other words related to it, are
derived from the Latin word, umbra, a
shade Umbrage is used in three diff
ferent senses. /. 1t means what Its
Latin ancestor meant, shade;
shadow; hence that which affords a
shade, as a screen OF trees. z. IL also
means shadow, slight appearance !;
but this use is obsolete. 3 1t may
mean the feeling of being Over-shad-
owed jealousy of another, as standing
in ones light or way; hence giving
umbrage, offense, or creating resent
ment. The adjective is outrageous.
