pessimal

|
|
/pesiml/ , adj. [Latin-based antonym for optimal ] Maximally bad. This is a
|
|
pessimal situation. Also pessimize vt. To make as bad as possible. These
|
|
words are the obvious Latin-based antonyms for optimal and optimize , but
|
|
for some reason they do not appear in most English dictionaries, although
|
|
pessimize is listed in the OED.
