accursed
Bearing a hex
Accursed means under a curse, or so detestable as to seem cursed: that accursed day, the accursed place where he died.
The word is literary and emphatic, stronger than merely damned or hateful.
It can be pronounced as two syllables or three (a-CURS-ed), with the three-syllable form sounding more archaic and formal.
