=Syn. 1. Hate, Abhor, Detest, Abominate, Loathe. These 
words express the strongest forms of dislike and aversion 
of either persons or things. Hate may include the oth- 
ers ; it is more permanent and includes more ill-will to- 
ward that which is hated. To abhor, literally to start from 
with horror, is to have all the better feelings excited 
against that which is abhorred : as, we abhor cruelty. To 
detest, literally to bear witness against, is to condemn with 
indignation. Abominate, by derivation and the Biblical use 
of its congeners, has generally reference to what is offen- 
sive to moral and religious sentiment. To loathe is prima- 
rily to have great aversion to food, and hence to have 
like disgust toward that which is offensive to the moral 
nature or the feelings. 
Do good to them which hate you. Luke vi. 27. 
I abhor this dilatory sloth. Shak., Hen. VIII., 11. 4.
