A sentence using the word denigrate?

Answer 1

Denigrate has two meanings:

1) belittle

2) charge falsely or with malicious intent, attack the good name and reputation of someone

In the first sense:

I'm not trying to denigrate your work, just pointing out ways you could work more efficiently.

In the second sense:

He has done everything in his power to blacken my name; he denigrates me repeatedly.

Answer 2

It is unfair to denigrate someone's character based on rumors without any evidence to support the claims.
