Definition
Extremely hateful or disgusting; something you find morally wrong and repulsive.
Etymology
From Latin 'abhorrere': 'ab-' (away from) plus 'horrere' (to tremble or shudder). The word literally means 'shuddering away from' something.
Kelly Says
Your body language reveals if you truly find something abhorrent—studies show people make the same face of disgust whether they see rotting food or hear about cruelty, suggesting our moral repulsion uses the same ancient brain circuits as physical disgust.
