恶性

• 拼音: è xìng
• 汉字拆解: 恶 = 亚 + 心 — bad/evil; 性 = 忄(heart radical) + 生 (life/birth) — the innate character arising from one's heart

含义

Malignant; vicious; of a harmful or worsening character. Used for tumours, cycles, competition, or other intensifying negative phenomena.

恶性 contrasts directly with 良性 (benign). In medicine: 恶性肿瘤 (malignant tumour). In economics: 恶性竞争 (vicious competition), 恶性循环 (vicious cycle). In crime reporting: 恶性事件 (serious criminal incident). It is always attributive — it modifies a noun rather than functioning as a predicate.
