EN: filth, impurity, stain (figurative)
This isn't just about physical dirt, like putik on your shoes. This is the 'stain on your soul' kind of dirty. It’s the opposite of a clean conscience; it’s a reputation that needs more than just Tide to clean.
From ka- (state/quality prefix) + dungis (smudge, dirt) + -an (state suffix).
ROOT MEANING: a smudge on the face; grime
Almost exclusively used in a figurative or moral sense to mean impurity, defilement, or a stained reputation.
