| vocabulary简明 | Appalled is an adjective that describes feeling shocked and disappointed. Being appalled happens suddenly, like when you find out your little sister has been blogging about your family, telling embarrassing stories. |
| vocabulary扩展 | Appalled comes from the Latin word pallescere, meaning "to grow pale" — the kind of shock that drains the color from your face.
