        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: To Abase, Debase, Degrade. These words agree in
          the idea of bringing down from a higher to a lower
          state. Abase has reference to a bringing down in
          condition or feelings; as, to abase the proud, to abase
          one's self before God. Debase has reference to the
          bringing down of a thing in purity, or making it base.
          It is, therefore, always used in a bad sense, as, to
          debase the coin of the kingdom, to debase the mind by
          vicious indulgence, to debase one's style by coarse or
          vulgar expressions. Degrade has reference to a bringing
          down from some higher grade or from some standard. Thus,
          a priest is degraded from the clerical office. When used
          in a moral sense, it denotes a bringing down in
          character and just estimation; as, degraded by
          intemperance, a degrading employment, etc. ``Art is
          degraded when it is regarded only as a trade.''
