To owe one a spite, to entertain a mean hatred for him.
[1913 Webster]

Syn: Pique, rancor; malevolence; grudge.

Usage: Spite, Malice. Malice has more reference to the
disposition, and spite to the manifestation of it in
words and actions. It is, therefore, meaner than
malice, thought not always more criminal. `` Malice .
. . is more frequently employed to express the
dispositions of inferior minds to execute every
purpose of mischief within the more limited circle of
their abilities.'' --Cogan. ``Consider eke, that spite
availeth naught.'' --Wyatt. See Pique.
