escándalo
  11

Fact or saying that causes astonishment, indignation, public embarrassment in general; Also the popular reaction, which is usually angry, and by metonymy the same uproar and tumult, debauchery. Although it comes to us from the Latin scandalum, i ("pitfall, which protrudes to hinder the passage"), the origin is Greek by 963; 954; 945; 957; 948; 945; 955; 959; 957; ( skandalon ) which was both the stone that protrudes in the way to make us trip and the bait in the trap that makes the lid fall to enclose the prey. From there comes the concept of "making sin" and "generating astonishment by the fact".
