However, senses 3 and 4 of the adjective were used in speech and casual writing by the late 18th century <it is an awful while since you have heard from me ― John Keats (letter)> <there was an awful crowd ― Sir Walter Scott (letter)> <this is an awful thing to say to oil painters ― William Blake>. Adverbial use of awful as an intensifier began to appear in print in the early 19th century, as did the senses of awfully corresponding to senses 3 and 4 of the adjective. Both adverbs remain in widespread use <a sad state of affairs and awful tough on art ― H. L. Mencken> <the awfully rich young American ― Henry James> <decided to play it so awfully safe ― A. M. Schlesinger b 1917>.]]> 2 awful adj. Function: adverb Date: 1818 : VERY , EXTREMELY < awful tired>]]>
