adverb sah-kreh-MAHN Rare

Also means

terribly

Usage Note

sacrément is an informal intensifier equivalent to 'damn' or 'bloody' in English — 'c'est sacrément bon' means 'it's damn good'. It comes from sacré (sacred/damned) used as a swear word, so it carries a mild profane flavor and suits casual speech rather than formal writing.

Examples

"C'est sacrément difficile à faire."

Natural Translation

It's damn hard to do.
