appalled

Feeling great horror, shock, or disgust at something unpleasant or wrong. / Overwhelmed with fear or dread; terrified.
Adjective

This term conveys a powerful mixture of shock and moral indignation. It is significantly stronger than being surprised or offended, suggesting a visceral reaction to something perceived as grotesque, unethical, or profoundly wrong. It is frequently used in formal or semi-formal contexts to express strong disapproval of social injustices or shocking behavior.

While it can describe a state of terror or dread, the modern usage leans heavily toward disgust and horror. It is often paired with intensifiers such as absolutely, utterly, or completely to emphasize the depth of the shock. Because it describes an emotional state resulting from an external trigger, it is almost always followed by the prepositions at or by.
