Kanji 辱 embarrass, humiliate, shame Related words 復讐 is the common, direct word for personal vengeance often with an emotional or violent connotation, while 雪辱 is a more formal, literary term for restoring one's honor or avenging a defeat, especially in sports or competition.

見返し (in its 'getting even' sense) is a casual, everyday way to describe outdoing someone who once looked down on you, while 雪辱 is a more formal word specifically for avenging a defeat or humiliation.
Etymology Composed of 雪 (to cleanse, to wipe away) and 辱 (disgrace, shame). The literal sense is 'to wash away disgrace,' which developed into the modern meaning of vindication or revenge. The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the kanji combination is conventionally associated with this meaning.
