Etymology
The word 'gruesome' originates from the English language and dates back to the early 19th century, first appearing in print in 1810. It is derived from the word 'grue,' which means to cause to shudder or to be afraid. 'Grue,' and by extension 'gruesome,' is believed to be related to the Middle English 'gruesom,' which meant 'fearful' or 'dreadful.' The usage of 'gruesome' has evolved to encompass not just fear but also the grotesque qualities of something that evokes horror or revulsion. Similar words have appeared in various forms across languages, but 'gruesome' has become a staple in the English lexicon, particularly in discussions involving horror, crime, and other subjects invoking strong emotional responses.
