envy[envy 词源字典]

envy: [13] The underlying meaning of envy is simply ‘look at someone’ – the implication being, ‘with malice or resentment’. The word comes via Old French envie from Latin invidia ‘malice’ (source of English invidious [17]), which was a derivative of invidēre ‘look at with malice’. This in turn was a compound verb formed from the prefix in- ‘in, on’ and vidēre ‘see’ (whence English vision).
