Abase is a verb that means humiliate or lower in condition. The Latin word bassus (BOSS oos) means ‘short of stature.’ When we abase someone, we make them feel small or lesser. I probably shouldn’t have scolded the employees for coming in late. I just wanted to underscore the need to arrive on time, not to humiliate them.
