Etymology
The word 'spite' originates from the Middle English term 'spite', which is derived from the Old French word 'despit', meaning 'contempt or disdain'. These terms trace back to the Latin 'despectus', which is formed from 'despicere', meaning 'to look down'. The extension to '-ful' denotes being full of a certain quality. The superlative form 'spitefullest' captures the essence of the word by intensifying its meaning to the highest degree. Over time, the use of 'spiteful' and its variants has evolved in English literature, commonly representing deeply ingrained emotions related to jealousy, anger, and extreme negativity towards others.
