詞源：
spiteful?(adj.)early 15c., “impious; shameful, contemptible,” mid-15c., “expressive of disdain,” from spite (n.) in its various senses + -ful. The main modern sense of “having a malevolent and grudging disposition” is from late 15c. Earlier in Middle English was now-obsolete spitous “contemptuous, disdainful, malicious” (early 14c.) from despitous. Related: Spitefully; spitefulness.Related entries & more

下面是詞源的翻譯（機器翻譯比較難翻，參考著看）
惡意（adj.）15世紀(jì)早期，“不虔誠的；可恥的，可鄙的”，15世紀(jì)中期，“表達(dá)蔑視”，來自惡意（n.）的各種含義+ -ful。 “具有惡毒和勉強的性格”的主要現(xiàn)代意義是從15世紀(jì)末開始的。早期的中古英語中的 spitous 是“輕蔑的、蔑視的、惡意的”（14 世紀(jì)早期），源自 despitous。相關(guān)：惡意地；惡意。相關(guān)條目及更多
