In Old English, the term "terrific" derives from the Latin "terrificus," meaning "causing terror" or "frightening." It was used to describe something that instills fear or dread. Over time, the meaning evolved, and in modern usage, "terrific" has taken on a positive connotation, meaning something that is excellent or wonderful.
