/məˈlɪʃəsliˈ/ – Adverb
Definition: một cách độc ác, một cách hiểm độc, với ác ý.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, the word “maliciously” typically refers to acting with the intent to cause harm or injury to another person, or with a reckless disregard for the consequences of one’s actions. It implies a deliberate and wrongful intention to cause harm, rather than accidental or unintentional conduct.
Example: The defendant was charged with maliciously spreading false information about the plaintiff in an attempt to damage their reputation.
