Etymology
acrimony +? -ous; compare French acrimonieux (“acrimonious”), from Latin ?crim?ni?sus (“acrimonious”), from ?crim?nia (“pungency, sharpness; acrimony, austerity”) + -?sus (“suffix meaning ‘full of; prone to’, forming adjectives from nouns”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *-went- or *-wont- + *-to-). ?crim?nia is derived from Latin ?cer (“sharp; bitter, sour”) (from Proto-Indo-European *h??rós (“sharp”), from *h?e?- (“sharp”) + *-rós (“suffix forming adjectives from Caland system roots”)) + Latin -m?nia (the feminine form of -m?nium (“suffix forming collective nouns and nouns designating legal status or obligation”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *-m? (“suffix forming agent nouns from verbs”)).
