Is vehemous a word?

<p>Ok, I was writing an essay, and when I was writing it, I tried to find a word to describe something truly hideous. And just as I was stumped because nothing works (I didn’t think of hideous yet), this word, “vehemous” suddenly came up! But of course, Word’s spell check said it’s wrong, so I checked with my dictionary, which turned up nothing. Then I tried to spell it other ways, and that didn’t work either. Then, when I looked up on google, the word DOESN’T EXIST!! But there were other people who were equally befuddled by the origin of this word…</p>

<p>So, does anyone have a similar experience with this word, or could suggest its origins?</p>

<p>It’s kinda haunting… as it’s the middle of the night right now… and you hear people are confused about a word… that suddenly pops into your mind… which doesn’t even exist…</p>

<p>It sounds like a combination of vehement and venomous and maybe even behemoth. I checked on <a href=“http://www.m-w.com%5B/url%5D”>www.m-w.com</a>, but the word doesn’t exist there either; other words were suggested but nothing came close to the meaning you were going for. Interesting :)</p>
