SYN.- BAD1, in this comparison, is the broadest term, ranging in implication from merely unsatisfactory to utterly depraved; EVIL and WICKED connote willful violation of a moral code, but EVIL often has ominous or malevolent implications [an evil hour ], and WICKED is sometimes weakened in a playful way to mean mischievous [wicked wit ]; ILL1, which is slightly weaker than EVIL in its implications of immorality, is now used chiefly in certain idiomatic phrases [ill-gotten gains ]; NAUGHTY today implies mere mischievousness or disobedience [a naughty child ] -ANT. GOOD, MORAL
