venom

词汇起源
[13] Venom comes via Old French venim from Vulgar Latin *venīmen, an alteration of Latin venēnum ‘drug, poison’. It has been speculated that this was derived ultimately from venus ‘love’ (source of English venerate, venereal, etc), in which case its ancestral sense would presumably have been ‘love-potion’(一种能激发性欲的药;媚药;春药).

A poisonous secretion of an animal, such as a snake, spider, or scorpion, usually transmitted by a bite or sting.
A poison.

n. 毒液;恶意

例句:
"What a filthy trick," she said with great venom.
"多么肮脏的手段,"她痛恨地说道。
