    [Adjective]  | "ob*nox*ious" | \ äb-ˈnäk-shəs \


    1: odiously or disgustingly objectionable : highly offensive

    2: exposed to something unpleasant or harmful —used with to

    3: deserving of censure

    Origin: 1597 ;

     Latin obnoxius "under obligation, subservient, liable, exposed to, vulnerable" (of uncertain origin) + {see: |-ous|-ous};

      * Note : Latin obnoxius has traditionally been taken to be a parasynthetic derivative from the phrase ob noxiam "due to wrongdoing, on account of bad behavior" (see: {noxious|noxious}), but this explanation does not account for the primary senses of the word. Ernout and Meillet (Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue latine) take -noxius as a desiderative derivative from the base of nancīscī "to acquire" (see: {enough:1|enough:1}), parallel to anxius "worried"/angere "to strangle, distress" (see: {anxious|anxious}), alsius "liable to injury from cold"/algēre "to be cold." The English sense "objectionable" is probably due to influence of {noxious|noxious} and its etymon, Latin noxius.;
