WORD NOTE jealousy I remember being taught in school that jealousy was not the same as envy. Jealousy, or so I was given to understand, had a specifically romantic or sexual connotation, whereas envy had a broader meaning. It is possible to be envious of another's success, but one is jealous of a successful rival for the affections of one's boyfriend. Othello was jealous, but not envious. Now, it seems, the meanings have been conflated and blurred, and one routinely hears that someone is jealous of someone else's fame. This seems to me regrettable. I think that the two emotions —material envy and romantic jealousy —are not at all the same, and a clear linguistic distinction between them should be established and maintained. — FP Conversational, opinionated, and idiomatic, these Word Notes are an opportunity to see a working writer's perspective on a particular word or usage.
