Definition:
- a thing that causes disgust or hatred.
- a feeling of hatred.
Etymology:
- early 14c., "abominable thing or action;"
- late 14c., "feeling of disgust, hatred, loathing,"
- from Old French abominacion "abomination, horror, repugnance, disgust" (13c.),
- from Latin abominationem (nominative abominatio) "abomination," noun of action from past participle stem of abominari "shun as an ill omen,"
- from ab "off, away from"
- In biblical use, often "that which is ceremonially impure." The meaning was intensified by folk etymology derivation from Latin ab homine "away from man" (thus "beastly"); Wyclif and Chaucer both have abhominacioun, and abhominable was mocked by Shakespeare in "Love's Labour's Lost."
