Pernicious (adjective)

Pronunciation: [pêr-'ni-shês]

Definition: Very harmful, destructive or threatening harm or destruction.

Usage: The word should not be used in the sense of "wicked, evil".

Suggested Usage: This is a good word to express extreme threat of harm or destruction. You would more likely meet a harmful remark but a pernicious virus. Of course, any remark that is likely to do severe damage to someone else or an enterprise would be pernicious.
