funest

funest (FYOO-nest) - adj., causing or foreboding death; lamentable, calamitous, dire.


So not fun but funerary -- be sure to pronounce that glide after the F to signal this. Borrowed in the 1550s from French funeste, from Latin fūnestus, derivative of fūnus, funeral, death.

Have a happy Friday.
