The reputation you have right before you stop getting invited anywhere.
means The state of being held in low esteem or regarded with disapproval by others, usually because of discreditable behavior.
from Built from the Latin-derived prefix 'dis-' (apart, away, the undoing of) plus 'repute,' from Latin 'reputare' — to reckon or think over, from 'putare' (to reckon, to think). So disrepute is literally what happens when the careful reckoning of your character comes back negative — the ledger of public opinion closed in the red.
