Origin

Mid 17th century (used literally as in sense 2): from abysm. sense 1 dates from the early 19th century.

The original literal sense of abysmal was ‘very deep’, and people did not start using it to describe something utterly appalling, ‘the pits’, until the beginning of the early 19th century. The word shares a source with abyss (Late Middle English) Greek abussos ‘bottomless’.
