decrier (n.)
verb
transitive verb
to depreciate (something, such as a coin) officially or publicly

17世纪初期,指“贬低,贬损”; 17世纪40年代,“公开积极地反对和抗议”,源自法语 decrier(14世纪; 古法语 descrier “呼喊,宣布”),由 des- “分开”(参见 dis-)和 crier “呼喊”组成,源自拉丁语 quiritare(参见 cry(v.))。在英语中,这个词的意义被假定 de- 意为“向下”而受到影响。
borrowed from French décrier "to discredit, depreciate," going back to Middle French descrier (15th century), from des- de- + crier "to cry >entry 1" Note: A supposed 13th-century French usage of descrier in the sense "to announce (the depreciation or suppression of a currency)," mentioned without citation in the Französisches etymologisches Wörterbuch, has never been found and should probably be disregarded. See also note at descry >entry 1.
The first known use of decry was in 1614
