The word isn’t used by itself much anymore—you’ll almost exclusively hear it in the “bane of my existence” expression. Turns out, the word bane comes from the Old English word bana, which means “murderer.” (Other related words include the Old English benn, which means “wound,” the Gothic banja, which means “stroke or wound,” and the Avestan banta, which means “ill.”) Want the text version?: http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/02/bane/ Sources: http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/bane-of-your-life.html http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=bane http://www.word-detective.com/052003.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aconitum http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-643759p1.html?cr=00&pl=edit-00 http://www.shutterstock.com/?cr=00&pl=edit-00 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Aconitum_variegatum_110807f.jpg
