Word origin

The word 'abysmal' originated from the Late Latin word 'abyssimus', which means 'bottomless' or 'very deep'. It entered the English language in the early 17th century. Over time, 'abysmal' has come to be used to describe something extremely bad or profound, reflecting the idea of a bottomless pit or abyss. Its usage has evolved to convey a sense of extreme negativity or depth, making it a powerful adjective in describing the most severe or profound situations.
