Etymology

The word 'malignity' originated from the Latin word 'malignitas', which means 'malice' or 'evil disposition'. Over time, the term evolved to encompass both the quality of being malign or evil, as well as the tendency to produce death or harm, particularly in the context of diseases. The concept of malignity has been explored in various literary works, highlighting the darker aspects of human nature and the destructive power of malevolence.
