Bane

Bane is a Modern English word meaning "that which causes ruin or woe", as Globalisation ruins the poor farmers; it is from the Old English bana ("slayer", "murderer"), from the Proto-Germanic *banon, cognate with *banja ("wound").

Bane (plant), a poisonous plant, name from the original meaning.
