Etymology
The word 'awful' has its origins in the Old English term 'egefull', which means 'inspiring wonder or fear'. Originally, it had a more neutral connotation, referring to something that could evoke awe. Over time, the meaning shifted towards the negative as it became associated with things that were deserving of fear or horror. The transition from 'awe' to 'awful' marks a significant semantic shift. The formation of the superlative 'awfullest' showcases a common English linguistic pattern where adjectives are modified to express extremes, similar to how 'big' becomes 'biggest'. This word, while not frequently used in formal contexts, captures the emphasis on the extreme degree of negativity. The suffix '-est' is a typical way to denote the superlative form in English, which is used to compare three or more entities, indicating that something possesses the highest degree of the quality described.
