feeling and least of volition : the turkey-cock has an nnlij,- 
itthii to the color red ; manypeople have an intense a/>tij>ir- 
tluj to snakes, rats, toads. In figurative use, unliiaiiliii is a

dislike that seems constitutional toward persons, things, 
eonduct, etc. ; hence it involves a dislike for which some- 
times no good reason ran be given. Antipathy teoppotei

one accompanied with greater feeling, and generally in 
regard to an act, course, idea, etc., rarely to persons or 
things. See animosity.
