from today's AWAD:
umbrage (UHM-brij) noun
   1. Offense or annoyance arising from some insult.
   2. Shade, as from a tree.
   3. A vague suggestion or a feeling of suspicion.
[From Latin umbra (shade, shadow), which also gave us the words
umbrella, adumbrate, and somber.]
*
It gives new meaning to "giving shade" doesn't it?
