Harmful to health or things
Causing or likely to cause physical harm or damage, especially to health or the body.
نمط الاستخدام:
[something] is injurious to [something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "injurious" with "injured." "Injurious" describes something that causes harm (for example, "an injurious substance"), while "injured" describes the person or thing that has already been hurt (for example, "an injured worker"). Learners may also use "injurious" in casual speech, where "harmful" or "bad for you" would sound more natural.
المرادفات

damaging (Focuses on the result of damage; slightly less formal than "injurious.")
|

الأضداد
harmless (States that something does not cause physical harm or damage.)
|
beneficial (Opposite in that it brings good or helpful effects instead of harm.)
|
benign (Often used for substances or conditions that are gentle or not dangerous.)

Causing harm to someone's good name, rights, or position, but not to their body.
نمط الاستخدام:
[statement/action] is injurious to [someone's] [reputation/rights/interests]
خطأ شائع:

المرادفات

|
damaging (Commonly used for comments or reports that hurt a reputation or position.)
