Transitive Verb
past: abhorredpp: abhorreding: abhorring
This verb conveys a visceral reaction of intense loathing that is typically rooted in a moral or ethical conviction.

Usage is generally formal and is frequently employed in contexts involving social justice, religious beliefs, or personal codes of honor. It describes a state of permanent or deep-seated aversion rather than a temporary feeling of anger.
