indignar
to outrage
verb een-deeg-NAHR Rare
Origin: From Latin indignari, from in- + dignus (worthy)
Also means
to anger
Usage Note
Indignar means to provoke moral outrage. The reflexive indignarse is far more common and means to feel indignant or outraged: me indigna que mientan (it outrages me that they lie). Note that the subject of the outrage is the grammatical object when using the transitive form — parallel to how molestar works.
