What is awful in old English?

In Old English, the term that closely resembles "awful" is "eafor," which means "awe-inspiring" or "fearful." However, the modern sense of "awful" as something terrible or very bad did not have a direct equivalent in Old English. Instead, Words like "unhælo" (unwholesome) or "æfre" (ever, always) could convey negative connotations depending on context. The meanings of Words have evolved significantly over time.
