What does ABHOR mean in Scrabble?
verb
To regard with intense disgust and hatred; to detest utterly.
Abhor is a strong verb, well beyond simple dislike, describing feelings closer to loathing or revulsion. People often abhor cruelty, violence, or corruption rather than ordinary annoyances, since the word carries real moral weight. It comes from the Latin abhorrere, meaning to shrink back from, which captures the instinctive recoil the word still suggests. In formal writing, abhor works well as a stronger alternative to dislike or hate.
