scelestus: sceleratus: nefarius: nefandus: impius: improbus (☞ scelestus has reference to the mind = ad scelera pronus or promptus; sceleratus to actions = sceleribus pollutus atque opertus. Hence scelestus is applied to persons; sceleratus to things; and in general things can be called scelesta only by personification. In like manner nefarius and impius are applied to the impiety of the person who acts; only with this distinction that the impius is wicked only in mind the nefarius in his actions also; whereas nefandus refers to the horrible enormity of an action): malus (wicked by nature; opposed to bonus): pravus (corrupted by bad habits). (The words are found in this connection and order.) malus pravusque; homo nequam (a worthless fellow; opposed to frugi). According to Döderlein malus homo is a morally bad man; but nequam a good-for-nothing man whose faultiness shows itself in aversion to useful labor and a propensity to idleness and folly; opposed to frugi; pravus a man whose character has taken a vicious direction; in a physical or intellectual or moral point of view; opposed to rectus. (Handbook p. 131.) A wicked action impie factum; scelus; nefas.
