The Latin word "mal"  (or "malus"),  used as root in several Latin
languages, means “bad” or “evil".  It was used in the origins of the words
"malice" and "malicious".

The etymology of this word makes explicit its meaning.  It is a "malicious
software".  An intentionally harmful software.

If you want to believe a "malware" can be a "goodware"  - or something
similar -  because people are good, is your option, but it definitely is
*not* a wise choice, in my humble opinion.
