Word origin
The word 'hellish' originated from the Middle English word 'helle', which means 'hell', combined with the suffix '-ish' to form 'hellish', meaning 'resembling or characteristic of hell'. The concept of hell has been a part of various religious and mythological beliefs, representing a place of punishment or suffering. Over time, 'hellish' has evolved to describe extreme unpleasantness or cruelty.
