As I’m writing my EE I keep wanting to use the word “maleffect”, but apparently, it’s not a word (I think I just made it up “malefactor”) so I have to use things like “adverse side effects” and “undesirable consequences” and basically stuff like that.

So anyway, is there a English word that can be used to mean "unwanted side effects"?

something like a negative externality?
consequence?

use a thesaurus?

too late it was due yesterday

besides, not all consequences are bad, and my thesaurus doesn't have synonyms for every random two word phrases

and I was planning to register for that livejournal screenname so you couldn’t have it, but apparently, I forgot :(
