me`las black, Skr. mala dirt. Cf. Mauger.]

to injure another; a malignant design of evil. "Nor set
down aught in malice." --Shak.

without just cause or cause or excuse; a wanton disregard
of the rights or safety of others; willfulness.
[1913 Webster]

and deliberately entertained.

Syn: Spite; ill will; malevolence; grudge; pique; bitterness;

Usage: See Spite. -- Malevolence, Malignity,
Malignancy. Malice is a stronger word than
malevolence, which may imply only a desire that evil
may befall another, while malice desires, and perhaps
intends, to bring it about. Malignity is intense and
deepseated malice. It implies a natural delight in
hating and wronging others. One who is malignant must
be both malevolent and malicious; but a man may be
malicious without being malignant.

And ride o'er ruins with malignant joy.

depravity, in temper and conduct in particular
instances. --Cogan.
[1913 Webster]Malice \Mal"ice\, v. t.
To regard with extreme ill will. [Obs.]
