Relating to or resembling the biblical city of Gomorrah, especially in being sinful or corrupt.
From Gomorrah, the biblical city destroyed for its sinfulness, plus -ean suffix meaning 'of or relating to.' The city's name comes from Hebrew Gomorrah, possibly meaning 'submersion' or 'a type of grain.'
The word Gomorrean carries such heavy religious baggage that it's practically disappeared from modern usage, replaced by vaguer terms—it's a reminder of how theological judgment gets baked into vocabulary.
