Definition
extremely good; excellent; originally meaning causing terror
Etymology
From Latin terrificus, from terrere 'to frighten' + facere 'to make'
Kelly Says
This word did a complete 180 - it originally meant 'terrifying' but by the 1930s had flipped to mean 'wonderful,' showing how language evolves!
