Word of the Week

Heinous

Source: Time Magazine (current issue)

How it was used: "Earlier in our history there was a code of some sense of respect, even among the most heinous criminals, that you would never harm a police officer, certainly never kill a police officer."

Definition:

–adjective
hateful; odious; abominable; totally reprehensible: a heinous offense.

My sentence: Steve's condescending attitude towards his wife was heinous, she left him for another lover.
