Ashamed \A*shamed"\, a. [Orig. a p. p. of ashame, v. t.]
   Affected by shame; abashed or confused by guilt, or a
   conviction or consciousness of some wrong action or
   impropriety. ``I am ashamed to beg.'' --Wyclif.

         All that forsake thee shall be ashamed.  --Jer. xvii.

         Enough to make us ashamed of our species. --Macaulay.

         An ashamed person can hardly endure to meet the gaze of
         those present.                           --Darwin.

   Note: Ashamed seldom precedes the noun or pronoun it
         qualifies. By a Hebraism, it is sometimes used in the
         Bible to mean disappointed, or defeated.
