英文释义

名词 n.
  1. A sin or moral transgression. countable
    — [T]his distorting of equivocall words, which passeth commonly for a triviall peccancy, if it be well examined, will be found a very dangerous admission; for me thinks this may be termed a verbal adultery, as it vitiateth and corrupts the property of another, which would have remained innocent without that sollicitation, and therefore seemeth much a souler fault, than a single incontinency of our own words.
  2. Sinfulness. countable,uncountable
  3. A state of being flawed; faultiness. countable,rare,uncountable
  4. Unhealthiness. countable,obsolete,uncountable
