envy

envy: [13] The underlying meaning of envy is simply ‘look at someone’ – the implication being, ‘with malice or resentment’. The word comes via Old French envie from Latin invidia ‘malice’ (source of English invidious [17]), which was a derivative of invidēre ‘look at with malice’. This in turn was a compound verb formed from the prefix in- ‘in, on’ and vidēre ‘see’ (whence English vision).
=> invidious, view, vision

envy (n.)

late 13c., from Old French envie "envy, jealousy, rivalry" (10c.), from Latin invidia "envy, jealousy" (source also of Spanish envidia, Portuguese inveja), from invidus "envious, having hatred or ill-will," from invidere "to envy, hate," earlier "look at (with malice), cast an evil eye upon," from in- "upon" (see in- (2)) + videre "to see" (see vision).

Jealousy is the malign feeling which is often had toward a rival, or possible rival, for the possession of that which we greatly desire, as in love or ambition. Envy is a similar feeling toward one, whether rival or not, who already possesses that which we greatly desire. Jealousy is enmity prompted by fear; envy is enmity prompted by covetousness.
