Horrible

/ˈhɔr·ə·bəl/adjective
ELI5 mode

Horrible refers to something that causes intense fear, disgust, or extreme unpleasantness, often stirring a visceral reaction like shuddering or recoiling. In contemporary usage, it's commonly exaggerated for emphasis in everyday conversations, such as calling a bad meal horrible to convey strong disappointment rather than literal terror.
