What does MALICE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A wish to hurt or harm another person, often held quietly for a long time.
Unlike a flash of anger, malice is deliberate and cold, and it looks for a victim. Courts care about it a great deal, because the phrase malice aforethought separates murder from an accident or a killing in the heat of the moment. It comes through French from Latin malus, meaning bad, which also gave us malign and malady.
