Usage Note
Déplorable is a strong negative adjective indicating something worthy of censure or pity. It is invariable in gender (same form for masculine and feminine) and is slightly more formal than everyday horrible or lamentable. In political discourse it often describes conduct or conditions; the adverb déplorablement intensifies the same idea.
Examples
"Son comportement est déplorable."
