Ji Middle French mîras hatiye girtin: malin

Ji Old French mîras hatiye girtin: maligne

In summary

Inherited from Middle French malin(g), backformation from Old French maligne m (12th c.), a borrowing from Latin malignus. Compare the same backformation in bénin and, on the other hand, the original common-gender form preserved in digne.
