约于1300年,意为“可怕的,可怖的”,源自于古法语 horrible, orrible(12世纪)“可怕的,令人厌恶的,令人恐惧的”,源自于拉丁语 horribilis “可怕的,令人害怕的,可怖的”(西班牙语 horrible,葡萄牙语 horrivel,意大利语 orribile 也有同源词),源自于 horrere “害怕,毛骨悚然,颤抖”(参见 horror)。从15世纪中期开始被用作强调语气的词语。
Middle English orible, horrible, borrowed from Anglo-French, borrowed from Latin horribilis, from horrēre "to be stiffly erect, bristle (of hair, weapons, plants), shudder, shiver" + -ibilis "capable of exhibiting or causing (the action of the verb)" — more at horror >entry 1, -able
The first known use of horrible was in the 14th century
