Definition of "execrable" in English

adjective

1. Of the poorest quality.

   • As execrable as the Supreme Court’s decisions have been, they are of a piece with the conservative rulings from lower court judges who see no issue with laundering a revanchist policy agenda through contorted rulings.

2. Hateful, disgusting.

   • But is an enemy so execrable, that, though in captivity, his wishes and comforts are to be disregarded and even crossed? I think not. It is for the benefit of mankind to mitigate the horrors of war as much as possible.
