Understanding Excoriating: A Guide to Its Meaning and Synonyms

Excoriating is an adjective that means severe or fierce in its criticism or attack. It can also refer to something that is harsh or scathing in its tone or language.

For example, if someone writes a review of a movie that is excoriating, it means the review is very negative and critical of the movie, perhaps even vicious or brutal in its assessment.

Here are some synonyms for excoriating:

* scathing
* savage
* merciless
* brutal
* devastating
* withering

All of these words convey the idea of something being harshly critical or attacking, but excoriating is a bit more formal and severe in its connotation.
