loathing
UK: ˈləʊðɪŋ | US: ˈloʊðɪŋ
n. a feeling of intense dislike or disgust; hatred
The word "loathing" originates from the Old English verb lāþian, meaning "to hate or be disgusted by." The root loathe (from Old English lāþ, meaning "hateful" or "hostile") combined with the suffix -ing (used to form nouns of action or result) creates a term that encapsulates the state or feeling of intense aversion. Over time, the spelling evolved, but the core meaning of visceral disgust remained intact.
