Adjective

IPA: /²væʂʈa/
Etymology: From the superlative form above where the meaning most bad or most poor has gotten an opposite meaning. A similar analogy can be seen in grym which originally means "cruel" but has gotten a meaning of "awesome" or "cool" instead. Interestingly enough the same has happened with cruel in English which also can mean "awesome" or "cool", colloquially.
