Etymology
panic + -ful
Meanings
-
(uncommon) Full of panic; fearful.
It was certainly a temporary loss of reason; nothing less than madness could lead into such devious tracks, drag me down to so hopeless, helpless, panicful a depth, and drag me down so suddenly; lay waste, as at a signal, all my flourishing structures, and reduce them in a moment to a scene of confusion and horror.
1799, Charles Brockden Brown, Arthur Mervyn:
