Envenom for Dummies

Hey there! So, "envenom" is a kind of a powerful word. It's like when something gets full of poison, the way a snake's bite can envenom its victim. When you use "envenom" like you're talking about a snake or a poisonous creature, it means to fill something with venom. It's like when you add a drop of poison into a drink - you envenom it, you make it harmful.

But, "envenom" can also be used in a more metaphorical way. It can mean that you're adding bad feelings or words to something. Like, if someone is saying mean things about someone else, they're envenoming the situation. It's like they're adding poison to the atmosphere by being mean.

So, "envenom" is kind of like when you make something harmful or unpleasant by adding poison or bad feelings to it. It's an intense word, but I hope that makes sense to you! Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
