Syn: Terrible; dreadful; alarming; fearful; terrific; awful;
horrid; horrible; shocking.

Usage: {Frightful}, {Dreadful}, {Awful}. These words all
express fear. In frightful, it is a sudden emotion; in
dreadful, it is deeper and more prolonged; in awful,
the fear is mingled with the emotion of awe, which
subdues us before the presence of some invisible
power. An accident may be frightful; the approach of
death is dreadful to most men; the convulsions of the
earthquake are awful.
