Definition of calumny
Calumny is when someone falsely accuses another person of a crime or maliciously misrepresents their conduct to harm their reputation.
For example, if someone spreads rumors that a coworker is stealing from the company, even though there is no evidence to support this claim, that would be calumny. Similarly, if someone spreads false information about a celebrity to damage their reputation, that would also be calumny.
Calumny is a form of defamation, which can take the form of spoken words (slander) or written words (libel). The intent behind calumny is to harm someone's reputation, and it can have serious consequences for the person who is falsely accused or misrepresented.

Simple Definition
Calumny is when someone says something untrue about another person to make them look bad. This can be done on purpose to hurt the person's reputation. It's like when someone spreads rumors about you that aren't true. This is also called defamation, which can be done by speaking or writing false things about someone. When it's written, it's called libel, and when it's spoken, it's called slander.
