Terribly evil and awful (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vile

'awful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'terribly evil' is the wordplay.
'terribly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'evil' anagrammed gives 'VILE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for vile that I've seen before include "Revolting" , "Horrible" , "___ Bodies, Evelyn Waugh's 1930 novel" , "Evil, foul" , "Evil - evil (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
