cadaverous
Where it comes from
From Latin cadāverōsus; compare Middle English cadaverous (“gangrenous, mortified”).
adjective more cadaverous · most cadaverous
- Corpselike; hinting of death; imitating a cadaver. The speakers were three men, rather beyond middle life. One was pale and cadaverous, as if every feature gave testimony to the length of his vigils and the rigour of his fasts, while straight black hair hanging down on each side his face added to his wild and neglected appearance.
