rancid (RAN sid) Rancid comes from the same Latin root as rancor but is used slightly differently. It means “repugnant” or “nasty,” but it doesn’t describe people, only their remarks or behavior. It can also be used to describe food that has gone bad.

• After two weeks in a warm refrigerator, the milk was rancid.
• The valedictorian’s rancid remarks about the school’s curriculum embar-rassed the principal at the graduation ceremony.
