Foundrous

/faʊn'droʊs/ adjective

Definition

Characterized by or tending to cause founding or sinking; disastrous or catastrophic.

Etymology

From founder (to sink or collapse) + -ous suffix. This rare adjective parallels 'founderous' and emphasizes the sense of collapse or disaster.

Kelly Says

This is an incredibly rare word—so rare that most modern dictionaries don't include it—but it shows how English speakers in earlier centuries tried to build systematic adjectives from verbs they used.
