berüchtigt
notorious
So nennt man jemanden oder etwas, der für schlechte Taten oder einen schlechten Ruf bekannt ist.
The German word "berüchtigt" is an adjective that means "infamous" or "notorious". It is derived from the verb "berüchtigen," which means "to make infamous" or "to call attention to". "Berüchtigt" is typically used to describe someone or something known for negative reasons or bad reputation. Similar words in German include "verrucht" (wicked) and "ruhmreich" (glorious, but can have a negative connotation in certain contexts). The difference is that "berüchtigt" specifically emphasizes infamy, while "verrucht" conveys a sense of moral depravity or wickedness that may not always be public knowledge.
