With -lo- and -quy (not 'obliquy').

?Which word?

Keep the criticism words together: obloquy (strong public criticism and disgrace), vilification (very unfair criticism), calumny (false statements to damage reputation), censure (formal criticism), opprobrium (public disgrace).

आलोचना के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: obloquy (कड़ी सार्वजनिक आलोचना और बदनामी), vilification (बहुत अनुचित आलोचना), calumny (प्रतिष्ठा बिगाड़ने वाले झूठे कथन), censure (औपचारिक आलोचना), opprobrium (सार्वजनिक लज्जा)।

Keep apart obloquy and oblique (slanting; indirect).

Obloquy और oblique (तिरछा; अप्रत्यक्ष) को अलग रखिए।
