Awfullest

/ˈɔːf(ə)lɪst/

सबसे भयानक; सबसे बुरा

Origin & History

Formed in English by adding the superlative suffix “-est” to “awful”; “awful” comes from “awe” + “-ful,” originally meaning “inspiring awe,” later shifting to “very bad/terrible.” “Awfullest” is considered nonstandard compared with “most awful.”

अंग्रेज़ी में “awful” में superlative प्रत्यय “-est” जोड़कर बना रूप; “awful” शब्द “awe” + “-ful” से आया, जिसका पुराना अर्थ “विस्मय/भय उत्पन्न करने वाला” था, जो बाद में “बहुत बुरा/भयानक” अर्थ में बदल गया। “Awfullest” को “most awful” की तुलना में गैर-मानक माना जाता है।

Definition

“Awfullest” is a nonstandard superlative of “awful,” used (often informally or dialectally) to mean “the most awful,” i.e., extremely bad, unpleasant, or shocking; in older usage, “awful” could also mean “awe-inspiring,” but “awfullest” today almost always means “worst.”

“Awfullest” शब्द “awful” का गैर-मानक (nonstandard) superlative रूप है, जिसका अनौपचारिक/बोलचाल या कुछ बोलियों में अर्थ “सबसे अधिक भयानक/सबसे बुरा” होता है—अत्यंत खराब, अप्रिय या डरावना; पुराने प्रयोग में “awful” का अर्थ “विस्मय पैदा करने वाला” भी हो सकता था, पर आज “awfullest” प्रायः “सबसे बुरा” ही दर्शाता है।
