LekhoriLekhoriHaving a tendency to seek revenge when wronged, vengeful.
Lord Avonleigh was an angry rather than a vindictive man. Vindictiveness requires more energy of character than he possessed. Indeed, it may be questioned whether he would of himself have taken the violent measures of the preceding evening.
From Latin vindicta (“vengeance”) + -ive. Contrast Latin vindicātīvus.
