   predicament

   /prɪˈdɪkəm(ə)nt/

   noun

   • 1. a difficult, unpleasant, or embarrassing situation: "the club's financial predicament"
   • 2. (in Aristotelian logic) each of the ten ‘categories’, often listed as: substance or being, quantity, quality, relation, place, time, posture, having or possession, action, and passion.

   Word Origin late Middle English (in predicament (sense 2)): from late Latin praedicamentum ‘something predicated’ (rendering Greek katēgoria ‘category’), from Latin praedicare (see predicate). From the sense ‘category’ arose the sense ‘state of being, condition’; hence ‘unpleasant situation’.
