loathing

intense dislike / disgust / hatred
Noun

This term describes a visceral reaction that combines deep hatred with a sense of physical or moral repulsion. It is more intense than simple dislike and often implies that the object of the feeling is perceived as contaminated, vile, or utterly beneath the speaker. As an uncountable noun, it refers to the abstract state of feeling disgust. While it can occasionally be used in a countable sense to describe specific instances of hatred, it typically functions as a mass noun and does not take a plural form in standard usage.
