Infamy (9)

I believe the answer is:
notoriety
'infamy' is the definition.
(I know that notoriety is a type of infamy)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for notoriety that I've seen before include "Public exposure" , "Infamy, disrepute" , "State of being infamous" , "Bad reputation" , "State of being well known, negatively" .)
