Etymology

Atrocement is a modern French adverb formed from the adjective *atroce* “cruel, harsh” by adding the common adverbial suffix *‑ment*. *Atroce* itself comes from Latin *atrox* “fierce, cruel”, which was borrowed from the Greek *atróx* (ἀτρόξ) meaning “fierce, cruel”. The construction *atroce‑ment* appears in Middle French, literally meaning “in a cruel manner.”
