Is there a single word to describe the feeling of embarrassment that one can have for someone else?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) May 3rd, 2010

If I’m embarrassed for myself, then I say I’m embarrassed. But is there a single word to describe my embarrassment for my mother when she acts crazy in public? I guess I’m embarrassed for myself, but I’m also embarrassed for her too.

Is there word for that?
