The answer
VENOM
What venom means
A poisonous liquid produced by certain snakes, spiders, and other animals that is injected into prey or enemies through bites or stings.
Where the word comes from
From Old French *venim*, which came from Latin *venenum*, meaning poison or drug. The Latin root may be related to *venus* (desire or charm), since poisons were sometimes used as magical charms or love potions in ancient times, though this connection remains uncertain. The word entered English in the 13th century and retained its sense of a toxic substance injected by snakes, spiders, and other creatures.
