Definition
To feel jealous or unhappy about someone else having something good that you want for yourself.
Etymology
From Old French 'envier,' from Latin 'invidere' (to look at with ill will), combining 'in-' (toward) and 'videre' (to see). The meaning has remained consistent since ancient times.
Kelly Says
Envy is called 'the green-eyed monster' in literature because it's one of the few emotions humans actively hide and feel shame about—unlike anger or sadness, we rarely admit we're envious, which makes it uniquely powerful in human motivation.
