    It’s not my definition. That is the subtle difference between the two words. But, most people use both words for the same thing, and most people only use the word jealousy for both things.

    Merriam Webster has an interesting paragraph on the page for jealousy about it: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/jealousy

    You can also check the definitions of jealous and envious yourself, you’ll see that one is defined through hostility of some sort.
