noxious

noxious: [17] Noxious was adapted from Latin noxius ‘harmful’, a derivative of noxa ‘damage, injury’. (An earlier borrowing was obnoxious [16], from Latin obnoxius, which contains the prefix ob- ‘to’.) Related to noxa were Latin nex ‘destruction, death, slaughter’ (source of English internecine and pernicious) and nocēre ‘injure’ (source of English innocent, innocuous, and nuisance).
