"turpis" meaning in Latin

See turpis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ˈtur.pis/ [Classical], [ˈt̪ʊrpɪs̠] [Classical], /ˈtur.pis/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt̪urpis] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *trep- (“to turn”) (with the word interpreted as "turning away" > "repelling" > "disgusting"), and compared with Ancient Greek τρέπω (trépō, “to turn, divert”), Sanskrit त्रपते (trapate, “to be ashamed”). De Vaan is skeptical of the semantics of this derivation, and prefers, albeit with trepidation, to compare the word with torpeō (“to be stiff”).
