1640年代,源自晚期拉丁语 inimicalis “敌对的”,来自拉丁语 inimicus “不友好的; 敌人”(参见 enemy)。
Inimical expresses both feeling and action, generally in private affairs. Hostile also expresses both feeling and action, but applies especially to public affairs: where it applies to private matters, it expresses either strong or conspicuous action or feeling, or both, or all. [Century Dictionary, 1889]
Inimical 既表达感情又表达行动,通常用于私人事务。 Hostile 也表达感情和行动,但特别适用于公共事务:当它适用于私人事务时,它表达强烈或显著的行动或感情,或两者,或全部。[世纪词典,1889]
