Aversation

/ˌævərˈseɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The act of turning away from something; aversion or the state of being averse.

Etymology

From Latin 'aversatio,' from 'avertere' (to turn away), combined with '-ation' suffix. An archaic or technical term that describes the physical or emotional action of turning away.

Kelly Says

This is an ultra-rare word that shows how Latin could make a noun out of almost any action. It's rarely used today, but it captures something specific: not just feeling averse, but the actual motion of turning away.
