Disrelishable

/dɪsˈrɛlɪʃəbəl/ adjective

Capable of being disliked or viewed with distaste; unpleasing or disagreeable in nature.

Etymology

From disrelish + -able (suffix indicating capability or possibility). The adjective indicates that something has qualities that make it likely to be disliked.

Kelly Says

While 'dislikeable' and 'disagreeable' are common, 'disrelishable' is nearly extinct—it's an example of how English prunes its vocabulary by keeping the simplest, shortest synonyms and discarding longer alternatives.
