| Apr 20, 2015 at 20:31 | comment | added | David Pugh | Might one suggest that the good lexicographers are dealing with English rather than the cliches of public speaking, and that the good Californian has listened to too many acceptance speeches? Or will this get a newbie kicked out? | |

| Apr 15, 2015 at 16:57 | comment | added | mskfisher | @Mari-LouA Good to know - that nicely matches Billy ONeal's cited definition from Merriam-Webster. | |
| Apr 15, 2015 at 8:06 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | The Free Dictionary has since modified their definition: tr.v. hum·bled, hum·bling, hum·bles 1. To cause to feel humble: "He was humbled by the lack of consolation in Kornblum's expression". 2. To cause to have a lower condition or status; abase. | |

| Jun 9, 2012 at 13:44 | comment | added | user22091 | Someone I know replied to a compliment I gave him by saying he was humbled by it. I was a bit confused which led me to this forum. It's interesting to learn that others feel the same as I do....wondering what got lost in translation. How nice when words are used in accordance with their actual meaning. It encourages good communication, plain and simple. | |

| Sep 14, 2010 at 21:59 | comment | added | mskfisher | I agree with all of the definitions that have been given - however, the etymology seems backward to me. When did that inversion happen? | |
| Sep 14, 2010 at 18:51 | comment | added | mmyers | I think it's something you say so that you don't sound stuck-up when you make it big. | |
