- 1積怨、火藥味、彼此的敵意
Acrimony is the anger and sour feeling between people who disagree hard and do not like each other. It sits in the relationship: not one shout, but a climate of bitterness. News writers love it for , divorces, and business break-ups: 'the acrimony between the two parties'. It is formal. Friends would say there is bad blood, or they cannot stand each other, or the fight got ugly. Though actually, the word started as a picture of taste. It comes from French acrimonie, from Latin ācrimōnia, 'sharpness, a sharp taste'. English first used it for sharp tastes and sharp medicine; the 'angry people' meaning came later and is now the main one. You almost never hear it about food any more. It is also not a street fight. Acrimony can look polite on the surface and still be cold and cutting. The adjective is acrimonious; this noun is the feeling itself.
組成From Middle French acrimonie, from Latin ācrimōnia, 'sharpness, pungency'. English kept the picture of something sharp, then used it for sharp feelings between people.
