abhor

Verb C2 – Mastery

To feel intense hatred or disgust toward something, usually on moral grounds.

"She abhorred cruelty in any form, even toward insects."

"Abhor" is stronger and more formal than "hate" — it's typically used for moral or ethical objections, not everyday dislikes like disliking a food.

Synonyms

detest loathe
