Today’s Wordle Answer #368 – June 22, 2022 Word Solution And Hints
Now that you’ve scrolled to the second section of the article, let’s get straight to the solution: awful. Here’s the juicy etymological conundrum. Awe and wonder are synonyms, but putting a “-ful” as a suffix pits them against each other. The word awe has Scandinavian roots and means terror and fear. In Old English, it was used as egefull, which also meant terrifying. The root word was also used in Proto-Germanic and High and Old High German in a slightly modified form, but with similar meaning.
Over time, the word awe came to be associated with reverential fear, especially when referring to something that had to do with biblical history or associated with the church. And that makes things interesting, as awful could signify something terrible, and at the same time, it was used as a substitute for anything that deserves great respect, inspiration, or majestic influence. Somewhere down the line, awful cultivated a quantitative side to it. For example, it can be used in sentences like, “Winning a Formula 1 race requires an awful lot of physical and mental conditioning.”
