How it's used
Describes a person's character or intent as genuinely malicious rather than just mean or grumpy. It is often used to describe someone who actively plots or wishes harm upon others, making it a strong, serious accusation. While it can describe words or actions, it is most frequently applied to someone's underlying nature.
Examples
That person is so evil-minded, always plotting to harm others.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 惡, which simply means fierce, aggressive, or bad-tempered. A person can be 惡 when they are shouting or angry, but they are only 惡毒 if they have a truly wicked or sinister heart.
