Terrific

Terrible. Terrific. They both come from the word terror and are related to terrorism. Are terror and terrorism the same thing? No. Terror is an emotional state. Terrorism is a strategy to push a cause, using unethical and unconventional methods to prove how ethical and righteous the supporters are. Terror means to frighten in Latin.
