horrible

/oˈrible/ · A2 · adj

horrible

👹 Same word as English horrible, but silent h: o-RREE-bleh

From Latin horribilis, from horrere = to bristle or shudder, the same root as horror. Spelled exactly like the English word; the h is silent, the rr is rolled, and the stress falls on RRI: o-RRI-ble.
