{Dislike}, {Aversion}, {Reluctance}, {Repugnance},
{Disgust}, {Antipathy}. Dislike is the more general
term, applicable to both persons and things and arising
either from feeling or judgment. It may mean little more
than want of positive liking; but antipathy, repugnance,
disgust, and aversion are more intense phases of
dislike. Aversion denotes a fixed and habitual dislike;
as, an aversion to or for business. Reluctance and
repugnance denote a mental strife or hostility something
proposed (repugnance being the stronger); as, a
reluctance to make the necessary sacrifices, and a
repugnance to the submission required. Disgust is
repugnance either of taste or moral feeling; as, a
disgust at gross exhibitions of selfishness. Antipathy
is primarily an instinctive feeling of dislike of a
thing, such as most persons feel for a snake. When used
figuratively, it denotes a correspondent dislike for
certain persons, modes of acting, etc. Men have an
aversion to what breaks in upon their habits; a
reluctance and repugnance to what crosses their will; a
disgust at what offends their sensibilities; and are
often governed by antipathies for which they can give no
good reason.
