I believe the answer is:

tragic

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">catastrophic</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">appalling</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(tragic can mean horrible or appalling)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>
