Abhor

Abhor/rence

   /rent

Middle English abhorren, from Latin abhorrēre, from ab- + horrēre to shudder

ab+hor 遠離恐怖的東西→討厭某物


[VT, not in progressive]

To hate a kind of behavior or way of thinking; especially because you think it morally wrong:

any kind of discrimination is abhorrent to me


相關的字還有hatred喔


可以跟abide一起記,你討厭的東西就是你不能忍受的東西!

Things that you abhor are those you can't abide!

Isn't it right?
