I'm afraid those are all awful words which you're really going to struggle to relate to the target word. The best I can say is abandon any idea that you are going to get it through synonyms. Think emphatic superlative of those words?

I’ve sent you a PM (as my clue is perhaps a bit too obvious - so only read it if you’re desperate!)
