Middle English: from Old French rancler, from rancle, draoncle 'festering sore', from an alteration of medieval Latin dracunculus, diminutive of draco 'serpent'
If you argue and rankle and contradict, you may achieve a victory sometimes; but it will be an empty victory because you will never get your opponent’s good will. 「如果你辩论、反驳,或许你会得到胜利,可是那胜利是短暂、空虚的,你永远得不到,对方给你的好感。
