Insult और assault दोनों में किसी पर टूट पड़ने का भाव है। Assault हाथ से हमला है, insult शब्दों से — इज़्ज़त पर चोट। उल्टा है compliment।

Insult and assault share a sense of jumping on someone. An assault attacks with the hands; an insult attacks with words and hurts a person's dignity. The opposite is to compliment.
