Third person singular present tense of 'disgust': to cause someone to feel revolted or repelled, or these feelings themselves.
From Old French 'desgouster,' from 'des-' (un-) and 'gouster' (to taste). It originally meant something tasted bad, then evolved to describe any revulsion.
The word originally meant 'bad taste' in the literal sense—spoiled food that tasted awful. But our brains are so connected that when we find something morally wrong, we describe it using the same word as rotten food, showing how taste and judgment are linked!
