From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]:
Frightful \Fright"ful\, a.
1. Full of fright; affrighted; frightened. [Obs.]
[1913 Webster]
See how the frightful herds run from the wood. --W.
Browne.
[1913 Webster]
2. Full of that which causes fright; exciting alarm;
impressing terror; shocking; as, a frightful chasm, or
tempest; a frightful appearance.
Syn: Terrible; dreadful; alarming; fearful; terrific; awful;
horrid; horrible; shocking.
Usage: {Frightful}, {Dreadful}, {Awful}. These words all
express fear. In frightful, it is a sudden emotion; in
dreadful, it is deeper and more prolonged; in awful,
the fear is mingled with the emotion of awe, which
subdues us before the presence of some invisible
power. An accident may be frightful; the approach of
death is dreadful to most men; the convulsions of the
earthquake are awful.
[1913 Webster]
From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
frightful
adj 1: provoking horror; "an atrocious automobile accident"; "a
frightful crime of decapitation"; "an alarming, even
horrifying, picture"; "war is beyond all words horrible"-
Winston Churchill; "an ugly wound" [syn: {atrocious},
{frightful}, {horrifying}, {horrible}, {ugly}]
2: extreme in degree or extent or amount or impact; "in a
frightful hurry"; "spent a frightful amount of money" [syn:
{frightful}, {terrible}, {awful}, {tremendous}]
3: extremely distressing; "fearful slum conditions"; "a
frightful mistake" [syn: {fearful}, {frightful}]
