A Spanish adjective meaning bitter, acrid, or having a harsh, unpleasant taste or quality; also used to describe harsh conditions.
From Spanish 'amargo' (bitter) with the augmentative suffix '-oso' (full of, characterized by), intensifying the quality of bitterness or unpleasantness.
In Spanish, '-oso' is like adding 'very' or 'extremely' to a word—so 'amargoso' doesn't just mean bitter, it means intensely, aggressively bitter!
