Why this word is great

UMBRAGE — [Noun] A feeling of offense or annoyance arising from a perceived slight or insult. From Middle French ombrage ("umbrage, shade"), from Old French ombrage, from Latin umbrāticus ("in the shade"), from umbra ("shadow, shade"). Unlike "resentment," which implies a persistent, brooding sense of injustice, or "pique," which suggests a transient, petty irritation, umbrage is a dignified chill, a sudden withdrawal into the shade of one's own wounded dignity. It is the frost that forms on a dinner-table conversation after an ill-considered remark, the deliberate silence that follows a colleague's undue credit-taking, the slight but unmistakable straightening of the spine when one's contributions are overlooked—a shadow cast by the eclipsing of one’s proper place, where the chill serves as both a shelter and a rebuke.

noun

A feeling of anger or annoyance caused by something offensive.“Antipathy in one nation against another disposes each more readily to offer insult and injury, to lay hold of slight causes of umbrage, and to be haughty and intractable when accidental or trifling occasions of dispute occur.”

Leaves that provide shade, as the foliage of trees.“It was a relief to change the cheerful meadow for the dark umbrage of the forest which they now entered.”
