Etimologia (Inglese)
From French terrifique, and its source, Latin terrificus (“terrifying”), from terrere (“to frighten, terrify”) + -ficus, from facere (“to make”). The "excellent, amazing" sense is an ameliorative semantic shift from the original sense of "terrifying". Compare similar semantic development in sick and wicked.
