Vile means wicked, not unpalatable

[Hornbein]

I thought vile meant "very unpalatable," as in a vile concoction. But the dictionary says the meaning is "wicked." Oh well. Wrong again. I guess it is close to villain, maybe that should have been a clue.

 

[.Scott]

And use a vial for that concoction.

 

[gleem]

But the dictionary says the meaning is "wicked."

A concoction can be vile if it is unpleasant to look at.

Vilified?

Latin stem means "of low value."
