- 1怪異的、反常的。可帶一點可怕的感覺;用來形容天氣、運氣、事情較自然,直接拿來說人會傷人。
Freakish means very unusual and strange — so far from what you expect that it can feel a little . It can describe weather (a freakish storm), luck, behaviour, or a look. It is 'freak' plus '-ish', so it carries the flavour of 'like a freak': odd, not the normal pattern. It is not a science word. 'Freakish' is a little stronger and more at home in writing than 'odd'; 'freaky' is the more casual spoken cousin, and can sound playful or creepy depending on the voice. Calling a person freakish can hurt, because it can sound as if they themselves are a 'freak'. People more safely use it of events, weather, and chance.
組成freak + -ish ('somewhat like; of that kind').
