The opening paragraph refers to cruelty and selfishness, meanings for which this word (and “venal”) are frequently misapplied, and which are not supported by the following Wiktionary citation or any dictionary of note. At the least, these meanings should be added as a run-on sentence with the notation that they are common but incorrect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbicels (talkcontribs) 13:43, 9 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

As no-one has responded, I am proceeding to edit the article to distinguish between the accepted and corrupted usages of this word. Barbicels (talk) 14:25, 19 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
