wonderful

Filling with awe

Wonderful describes something that inspires wonder or delight—remarkably good, excellent, or pleasing: We had a wonderful time.

The word has softened from its original sense of awe-inspiring to general enthusiasm.

It works as a warm, sincere compliment: You've been wonderful.

In sarcastic use, wonderful expresses the opposite: Oh wonderful, now the car won't start.
