Harmful to health or things
Causing or likely to cause physical harm or damage, especially to health or the body.
Vzorec užití:
[something] is injurious to [something]
Častá chyba:
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.
Synonyma
harmful (More common and general; used in both formal and informal contexts.)
|
damaging (Focuses on the result of damage; slightly less formal than "injurious.")
|
detrimental (Formal; emphasizes a negative effect over time.)
Antonyma
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.

Synonyma

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