A Wretch is one who is despicable. Through time, the term has also taken on a much more sympathetic usage, meant to indicate an unfortunate individual deserving of pity rather than righteous scorn.
The term is famously used in the Christian hymn Amazing Grace by stating the God's grace "saved a wretch like me".
It is normally used as an insult. It is also used as:
- Wretch (album) - an album by Kyuss
- Wretch (website) - a popular Taiwanese web log community.
