Translations: of the most unmerciful, of the most harsh, of the most cruel, of the most savage, of the most stern

Part of Speech: Adjective

Explanation: This word is the superlative form of the adjective 'ἀπηνής' (apēnēs), meaning 'unmerciful', 'harsh', 'cruel', 'savage', or 'stern'. As a superlative, it indicates the highest degree of these qualities, meaning 'most unmerciful', 'most harsh', etc. It is often used to describe people, animals, or actions that are exceedingly severe or lacking in compassion. For example, it could describe the voice of the 'most savage beasts'. It is a compound word, formed from the negative prefix 'ἀ-' (a-) meaning 'not' and 'πηνής' (pēnēs), which is related to 'πῆνος' (pēnos), meaning 'thread' or 'web', possibly implying 'not woven' or 'not soft/smooth', hence 'rough' or 'harsh'.
