as a non-native speaker, may I ask what egregious even mean? intentional?
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> may I ask what egregious even mean? intentional? Outrageously bad. Even if unintentional, it's behaviour that obviously isn't acceptable or part of the job. Like this lady.
- samus 3y agoIntentional is the crucial shade of meaning here. Excessive in a way that attracts (or at least should attract) attention. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/egregious https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/egregious
- hughdbrown 3y agoFrom Latin grex/gregoris (flock) and ex- (out of). egregious comes from a root which means "stands out from the flock" -- it's exceptional. Centuries ago, it had a positive meaning but not it is reserved for describing outstandingly bad events or people, etc.
