From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Mal- \Mal-\
      A prefix in composition denoting ill,or evil, F. male, adv.,
      fr. malus, bad, ill. In some words it has the form male-, as
      in malediction, malevolent. See {Malice}.
  
      Note: The formmale- is chiefly used in cases where the c,
               either alone or with other letters, is pronounced as a
               separate syllable, as in malediction, malefactor,
               maleficent, etc. Where this is not the case, as in
               malfeasance or male-feasance, malformation or
               male-formation, etc., as also where the word to which
               it is prefixed commences with a vowel, as in
               maladministration, etc., the form malis to be
               preferred, and is the one commonly employed.
