ultraviolent

/ˌʊltɹævˈaɪələnt/ adj

Extremely violent; of utmost violence.

Word Origin Violent comes from Latin 'vis' meaning 'force, power' — so ultraviolent is force beyond the usual, extreme violence. The root 'vis' also gives us violate (to use force against, break), inviolate (not violated, pure), and vim (energy, force). The prefix ultra- (beyond) appears in ultraviolet (beyond violet) and ultrasonic (beyond sound). So ultraviolent is literally 'beyond forceful.'
