the.com/inferiority
The gap between you and everyone else, measured by a ruler only you're holding.
means The state or feeling of being lower in rank, quality, or worth compared to others.
from From Latin 'inferior,' meaning 'lower,' itself the comparative form of 'inferus,' meaning 'below' or 'situated beneath.' The same root gave English 'infernal' (relating to the underworld, the region below). The '-ity' suffix turns the quality into an abstract noun — so inferiority is literally 'lower-ness,' the state of being positioned underneath something else on an imagined ladder.
