Ask a monk about exactly in primary source what the Buddha said about anger or ill will. These words are gross English approximations butchering the culture as well.
Each word itself is a jargon of pali entendre. Buddha engaged in much play on words with Indian idiosyncrasies.
The New Testament is the origin point for many words in English and its other languages. Shakespeare the casual entertainment of his day and the grueling fancy Ivy League posturing of today is also is a major origin point text for these specific origin words. However with Buddha he says he discovered all this on his own but NONE of this is apparent in any English translation because all these concepts are brand new to English speakers and Buddha expected his Indian audience to understand implicitly which is a new polemical or revolutionary entendre and which is old fashioned by his borrowing of words like "Arahant" and "Dukkha". All rhymes are lost. This was a rhyming chanting culture.

I feel like I'm finally able to put my life on the tracks again. Thanks, Atomic Habits.
