HOW WORDS MOVE.
HOW MEANINGS MUTATE.

Latin fingere reflects the nasalized zero-grade formation *dhi-n-gh-.

Molding, fashioning, making a likeness, and pretending continue the shaping field.

The nasalized formation *dhi-n-gh- is built on *dheigh-, to form or build.

Shaping remains the semantic center.

Middle English feynen and feignen develop into modern feign with spelling and pronunciation standardization.

Making, fabricating, likeness, and pretense narrow toward deliberate false appearance.

Middle English borrows the Anglo-French feign- stem with English inflection.

The make, fabricate, likeness, and pretense field is retained.

Anglo-French feign- is the inflectional stem of feindre.

The fashioning and pretending senses remain connected.

Anglo-French feindre continues Latin fingere through Romance sound and form history; no single unattested intermediate is inserted.

Medieval Latin exhumare contains Latin ex, out of, beside humus, earth.

The prefix supplies removal away from or out of the earth.

Anglo-French deyerie contains the suffix -erie beside the English occupational base deie.

The suffix turns the worker base into a place or activity noun.

Latin fictiō contains the verbal-action suffix -tiō beside the fig- stem.

The suffix forms an action noun covering shaping, molding, feigning, and pretense.

English humiliate adapts the stem of Late Latin humiliātus, dropping Latin inflection and developing the English -ate pronunciation.

Made low or humble develops into reduction in status, dignity, or self-estimation and the causing of shame.

The completed state of being made low preserves the causative verb meaning.

Late Latin humiliāre is formed from Latin humilis with verbal morphology.

Low or humble becomes the causative action to make low or humble.

The Latin form humilitās remains segmentally continuous across the modeled sense boundary.

Literal and social lowness is positively specialized in ecclesiastical Latin as humility opposed to pride.

Latin humilitās is formed from humilis with the abstract noun suffix -itās.

The property of being low names physical lowness, low station, insignificance, and related abstractions.

Middle English humiliacioun continues as humiliation with modern -ation spelling and English pronunciation.

A broad humbling or abasement noun develops the current action, state, instance, degradation, disgrace, and shame center.
