E-GREG-ious में greg (झुंड) ढूँढिए, जैसे gregarious (मिलनसार) में। Egregious = जो झुंड से इतना अलग दिखे कि उसकी बुराई साफ़ और चौंकाने वाली हो।

Find 'greg' (a flock) in e-GREG-ious, as in gregarious (fond of company). Egregious is something that stands so far out of the flock that its badness is shocking and obvious.

Synonyms: outrageous, flagrant, glaring, atrocious, heinous; इसी 'बहुत बुरे' family के notorious और nefarious भी याद रखिए।

Synonyms: outrageous, flagrant, glaring, atrocious, heinous; remember notorious and nefarious from the same family of 'very bad' words.
