Definitions and meaning of iniquity

iniquity

Etymology

From Middle English iniquite, jniquite (evil, wickedness, iniquity; evil act; hostility, malevolence; hostile act; a calamity, misfortune), from Old French iniquité (modern French iniquité (iniquity)), from Latin inīquitās (iniquity; inequality, unfairness; inequity, injustice), from inīquus (unequal, uneven, unfair; disadvantageous, unfavourable; hostile, unkind; unsuitable; wicked, wrong) + -itās (variant of -tās (suffix forming a noun indicating a state of being)). Inīquus is derived from in- (prefix meaning ‘not’) + aequus (equal; fair, impartial, just). Compare inequity.
