appals
Fills with dread
Appals is the British spelling of appalls, the third-person singular form of appal/appall—to shock or dismay deeply.
Something that appals fills the observer with horror or disgust: The cruelty of the regime appals human rights observers.
It appals me that such conditions still exist.
