Usage Note
Humillación derives from humillar (to humiliate), itself from Latin humilis (low). Its plural humillaciones follows the standard -ción → -ciones pattern. Note that English 'humility' is humildad, not humillación — a potential false friend. Humillación always has a negative, involuntary sense.
Examples
"Sufrió una profunda humillación delante de todos."
