Malignity

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

a disposition obstinately, bad or malicious. Malignancy and malignity are words nearly synonymous. In some connections, malignity seems rather more pertinently applied to a radical depravity of nature, and malignancy to indications of this depravity in temper and conduct in particular instances. (See MALEVOLENCE).
