Same woe terribly bad? (7)

I believe the answer is:

awesome

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bad?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'same woe terribly' is the wordplay.
'terribly' is an anagram indicator.
'same'+'woe'='samewoe'
'samewoe' is an anagram of 'AWESOME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for awesome that I've seen before include "Causing great wonder" , "Magnificent, causing fear or wonder" , "Portentous" , "Very imposing, inspiring wonder" , "Fantastic" .)
