notoriety
Noun
This term carries a strong negative charge, specifically linking fame to disgrace or infamy. While celebrity implies a general state of being known, this word suggests that the recognition is earned through scandalous, criminal, or immoral behavior. In a more technical or legal sense, it refers to the quality of being obvious or widely recognized as a fact. This usage is less common in daily conversation and more frequent in formal or historical documentation.
