Abominating

/əˈbɒmɪneɪtɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of abominate; actively detesting or expressing intense disgust toward something.

Etymology

Formed by adding '-ing' to 'abominate', creating the present participle form used in continuous tenses and as a gerund. This follows standard English verb morphology.

Kelly Says

The '-ing' form lets you use the word as a noun ('Abominating injustice was his life's work') or in continuous tenses, which is why you'll see it more often in literature than the simple past or present forms.
