单词 hideous
释义

hideousadj.adv.

Brit. /ˈhɪdɪəs/, U.S. /ˈhɪdiəs/
Forms: Middle English hidous(e, ( hid-, hyd-, -os(e, -ows(e, -owes, -oys, -us, -ws, hedous, hedoes, hedeows, hiddowus, hudous, idous, ydous, Scottish hid-, hyd-, -wis(e, -wys)s, hidowis, hydvouss), Middle English–1500s hydous(e, Middle English–1700s hidious, 1500s hiduous, hiddoues, hydeous, hydious, hidyouse, hedious, idyous, Scottish hiddows, hiddowis, heiddyous, 1500s– hideous.
Etymology: Middle English hidous , < Anglo-Norman hidous = Old French hidos , -eus , earlier (11th cent.) hisdos , < hisde , hide horror, fear. The alteration of -ous to -eous belongs to 16th cent.: compare courteous , despiteous , piteous , and see -ous suffix. (As to origin of the French word, see Diez, Littré, Brachet. Some think hisdos immediately represented Latin *hispidōsus (formerly attributed to Catullus), < hispidus rough, shaggy, bristly, and that the noun hisde was a back-formation from the adjective. But this presents numerous difficulties.)
A. adj.
1.
a. Frightful, dreadful, terrible, horrible; hence, horribly ugly or unpleasing, repulsive, revolting. In the original sense the notion was that of ‘causing dread or horror’; this has gradually passed into that of ‘revolting to the senses or feelings’.
