Origin:
The word "envious" has its roots in the Latin verb invidere, which means "to look at with ill will or envy." The prefix in- in this instance serves to negate the following verb, turning the act of seeing into one that is negative and harmful. The word vidia, from which invidere is derived, also means "envy" or "malice."
In Middle English, the word envie was used to describe a strong feeling of bitterness, jealousy, or resentment towards someone else who is perceived to have something that the speaker does not. This usage of the word continues to be common in modern English.
