👉 The term "impugn" is a verb that refers to a person or a statement being criticized, disparaged, or found to be incorrect. It can also refer to an act of criticizing someone publicly or in public discourse. For example, if someone criticizes another person's work in the media for not meeting certain standards, they might say "Impugn [the other person]" to emphasize that their criticism is based on facts and evidence rather than personal feelings or opinions.
