To feel or express antipathy; to have a strong natural dislike or aversion toward something.
From antipathy + -ize (verb-forming suffix). Created in the 17th century to convert the noun antipathy into a verb form, allowing people to describe the action of experiencing or expressing such opposition.
Most people would just say 'dislike' or 'oppose,' but antipathize appears occasionally in literary and formal writing to emphasize that the opposition is somehow natural or innate rather than a choice.
