Etymology of HORRIBL

The word "horrible" originated from the Latin word "horribilis", which means "dreadful" or "terrible". It is derived from the verb "horreo", meaning "I tremble" or "I shudder", which in turn comes from the Proto-Indo-European root "*ghers" meaning "to bristle" or "to shake". Over time, "horrible" entered Old French as "horrible" and eventually made its way into English in the 14th century.
