No, becase "awe" and "aw" mean two different things...Now if it was spelled "Aweful," that would be a different story, but it's not...

Like I said, it's spelled "awful", not "awfull"...
HIPPI:
Awful is still derived from the word "awe". The "e" is just dropped. Both words mean to inspire awe, just in a different way. :)
HIPPI:
BTW, the reason it's spelled "awful" and not "awfull" is to keep the 1st syllable stressed. The meaning would be the same as "awfull" if it were to be spelled that way. So Trauma isn't far from being correct.
