- 1慘不忍睹的、血淋淋的（涉及死傷的恐怖，不是泛指「可怕」）
Grisly means extremely unpleasant in a bloody, way, usually because someone has been killed or badly hurt. A grisly murder, grisly remains, grisly details: the word points to horror you can almost see. It is not a light “scary,” and it is a bit literary; news and crime writing like it. It does not mean “a bit ugly” or “strict.” From Middle English grisely and Old English grisliċ, built from a verb grīsan, “to shudder with horror,” plus -lic, a suffix like modern -ly, “having the quality of.” It may also be a form of older ongrislic / agrisenliċ, from agrīsan, “to .” English speakers often mix it up with grizzly (the bear, or grey-haired) and with (full of tough meat). Those are different words.
組成From Old English grisliċ: grīsan (“shudder with horror”) + -lic (“having the quality of”). Related older English: agrīsan, “to terrify.”
