Meaning of Schadenfreude

Are we agreed that Schadenfreude means "the malicious joy in the
misfortunate of others?" I've seen various spellings, which in
themselves have left me confused because I can't even tell if
they're deliberate, and in addition, I haven't gotten any sense of
a consensual meaning in the discussions of the concept. Could be
me but would be grateful for some clarification.

Regards,

Petter
