Stigma (botany) The stigma (plural: stigmata) is the receptive tip of a carpel, or of several fused carpels, in the gynoecium of a flower.
Stigma is derived from the Greek and refers to a mark of disgrace; criminals, slaves, and even soldiers were visibly branded in order to be easily identified.

The âdiscreditedâ have some obvious difference from ânormalâ people, as is the case with someone who has lost an arm.
