Epicaricacy Edit Meaning

1.

Joy at the pain of another, esp. a friend or loved one

When my rich, moralizing brother, who always lectures me about responsibility and family values, was caught by his wife in bed with her best friend, and she divorced him and took everything leaving him broke and despondent, the epicaricacy was almost more than I could stand.

See schadenfreude, selfishness, meanness
