COMPROMISE (pronounced compromize; through Fr. from Lat. compromittere) , a
term
 , meaning strictly a
joint
  agreement, which has come to signify such a
settlement
  as involves a mutual

element
  of danger involved has arisen an invidious sense of the word, imputing discredit, so that being " compromised " commonly means injured in reputation.
