heinous pronunciation: /;he;n;s/
Definition: extremely wicked or abominable; shockingly awful or evil.
Origin: The word heinous comes from the Old French word haineus, which means "hateful" or "odious."
Example: The criminal's heinous acts of violence left the entire community in shock and fear.
Atrocious is another word that can be used to describe something that is heinous. Atrocious is often used to describe something that is shockingly bad or wicked, just like heinous. However, while heinous is often used to describe a very specific act, such as a crime or an act of violence, atrocious can be used to describe a wider range of things, such as a terrible movie or a poorly executed plan. Despite these slight differences, both words convey a sense of something that is truly terrible and should be avoided at all costs.
