Word to the Wise: Inimical

"Inimical" (ih-NIM-ih-kul) - from the Latin for "hostile" - means unfriendly, unfavorable, or antagonistic; having the disposition of an enemy.

Example (as used by Gerald Jonas in The New York Times): "Here the planet under scrutiny is Venus - a world even more inimical to human existence than Mars."
