An extremely old or primitive abomination; something intensely disliked or detested that dates back to ancient times.
Compound of 'archa-' (from Greek 'archaios' meaning 'ancient' or 'primitive') and 'abomination' (from Latin 'abominari' meaning 'to detest'). The 'archa-' prefix intensifies the sense of something being primordially disgusting.
