Hävituslikud is a Finnish adjective that translates to destructive, devastating, or ruinous. It is used to describe something that causes great harm, damage, or annihilation. The term can be applied to a wide range of situations, from natural disasters like earthquakes and floods to human actions such as war or acts of vandalism.

In a broader sense, hävituslikud can also refer to things that are detrimental to well-being, such as destructive habits or destructive criticism. It implies a force that breaks down, obliterates, or renders something useless. The intensity of the word suggests a significant and often irreversible negative impact.

The etymology of the word can be traced back to "hävitä," meaning to be destroyed or to perish. Therefore, hävituslikud inherently carries the connotation of annihilation or complete ruin.
