Understanding Infamous: The Meaning and Usage of a Negative Term

Infamous means well known or famous for some bad or shameful reason. It can be used to describe a person, place, or thing that is notorious or notoriously bad or reprehensible.

For example, "The criminal was infamous for his brutal crimes" or "The city's reputation as a hub of corruption made it infamous among law enforcement agencies."

In short, infamous means being widely known for something negative or shameful, rather than positive or praiseworthy.
