reputation
As reputation (French la renommée , "reputation", "view") is in the public opinion the reputation of an institution or a person designated in wider circles.
The reputation can include:
- the scientific reputation
- comparison with similar institutions or people in the same field of activity (see ranking and citation index )
- the social recognition that, for example, on the hiring of consultants or universities reveals the rush of good students,
- the moral reputation (good repute ), v. a. the leading persons of an institution and / or
- the reputation of a company or a businessman ( image ) with business partners or in public
The adjective renowned is used in business life for “good repute” (“a renowned company”).
The (obsolescence) verb renommieren has derogatory meaning ( "bragging rights," "splurge"). The noun Renommist derived from it with the meaning “ show-off ” is out of date . Erich Kästner wrote the following in his poem The thing with the dumplings :
Peter was a renown man.
You may not know what it is.
A renown is a man
who promises a lot and can do little.
The renown is the title of a joking heroic poem by Justus Friedrich Wilhelm Zachariae (1726–1777), which depicts an antihero type.
