infernal
/infeɾˈnal/ · B2 · adj
infernal, hellish
😈🔥 infernal = from Latin infernus, 'lower place' → hell; same root as English inferno
Spanish infernal comes from Latin infernus, meaning 'below, underworld'. English inferno shares the root, so link infernal to inferno, a place of fire. Spanish uses it for anything hellish, like an infernal noise or an infernal heat.
