Which word is opposite in meaning to the word, 'benevolent' ?
Answer: A
The word opposite in meaning to 'benevolent' is malevolent.
Benevolent comes from Latin bene (well) and volens (wishing): well-meaning and kind. Malevolent comes from male (ill) and volens: wishing harm to others. The shared root makes them exact opposites.
Rude means impolite, untruthful means dishonest, and indecent means improper. Each is a negative quality, but none is the opposite of kindness and goodwill.
