Characterized by bitterness, harshness, or ill will; marked by angry and resentful feelings or expressions. Often describes disputes, debates, or relationships filled with hostility.
From Latin 'acrimonia' meaning 'sharpness, bitterness,' from 'acer' (sharp, keen). The word originally described physical sharpness but evolved to describe the sharp, bitter quality of hostile interactions.
Think 'ANGRY-monious' - it sounds like 'ceremony' but with anger! Picture a wedding ceremony gone wrong, with bitter arguments and hostile exchanges between families.
