horrendously

/ˌhɔˈɹɛndəsɫi/ adv

In a horrendous manner.

Word Origin Horrendously comes from Latin horrere 'to bristle, shudder' — the physical reaction to something terrifying. Horrendous means causing such a reaction, and the adverb intensifies it. The same root gives us horror, horrible, horrid, and abhor (to shrink away from). The PIE root *ghers- meant 'to bristle,' like hair standing on end.
