喜樂美語
  1. 1名聲；聲譽（偏書面，多見於 of good repute「有好名聲」這類片語）

    Repute is someone's reputation: the picture of them that lives in other people's heads. A doctor "of good repute" is one people trust; a place "of bad repute" (or the older phrase "of ill repute") is one people warn their friends away from. Though actually, almost nobody says repute in ordinary talk now. They say reputation. Repute feels a bit old and formal — you meet it in newspapers, novels, and set phrases, not in a chat at the night market. "By repute" means "from what people say". There is a verb too (to repute someone as something), but it is rare; what grew out of it, and what you will actually hear, is the adjective reputed.

組成From Old French reputer, from Latin reputō, "to think over, reckon", from re- ("again") + putō ("to think"). The noun is the thought people keep having about you.
