invidia (denotes looking askance, as a sign that a man grudges something to another, from moral or immoral motives, not always, though pre-eminently from self-love, like ὑποψία. It denotes envy, either actively or passively): livor (the self-tormenting envy, which poisons the whole soul, and deprives the body itself of its fresh healthy color): invidentia (a new term of Cic.’s for the envy which a man harbors). As he met with no followers, nor even used the term commonly himself, it should be avoided: malignitas (as an habitual quality and disposition, in opposition to goodness of heart): obtrectatio ζηλοτυπία, envy showing itself in action, by trying to injure the person envied, especially by running him down, etc.). (The words are found in this connection and order.) obtrectatio invidiaque; obtrectatio et livor; livor atque malignitas; malignitas et livor. From envy, propter invidiam; invidia: invidia incensus. To be an object of envy, invidiam habere; in invidiam venire; in invidia esse (of persons and things): to excite anybody’s envy, alicui esse invidiae (of persons).
