Kanji 逆 inverted, reverse, opposite 道 road-way, street, district Related words 極ごく 悪あく 非ひ 道どう Similar meaning but emphasizes extreme wickedness (極悪). 悪逆非道 stresses treachery and rebellion against moral order.
残ざん 忍にん Means 'brutal' or 'cruel', but is a simpler adjective without the classical, four-character compound weight of 悪逆非道.
Etymology A yojijukugo combining 悪 (evil), 逆 (treachery/rebellion), 非 (un-/non-), and 道 (path/morality), literally 'evil, treacherous, and against the moral path'. The exact historical origin is uncertain, but it follows classical Chinese-derived compounding patterns.
