Definition of ingratus

Definition: Ingratus (in-gray-t-s) is a Latin term used in Roman law to describe a person who is ungrateful or conduct that is marked by ingratitude. For example, if a freedman speaks spiteful comments towards their former master, it is considered an ungrateful act.

Examples:

  • A son who never thanks his parents for their support and sacrifices is an ingratus.
  • An employee who complains about their job and salary despite receiving promotions and bonuses is an ingratus.
  • In Roman times, a freedman who spoke ill of their former master was considered an ingratus and could be returned to their prior inferior status.

The examples illustrate how ingratus refers to a lack of gratitude or appreciation for the help, support, or kindness received from others. It is a negative trait that can harm relationships and lead to consequences, such as losing one's status or reputation.

If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable.
