Word origin
The word 'abhor' originated from the Middle English word 'abhoren', which in turn came from the Old English word 'abhorian'. The prefix 'ab-' means 'away', and 'horian' is related to 'hore', meaning 'filth'. Therefore, 'abhor' originally meant 'to shrink back with horror, to regard with extreme repugnance'. Over time, the meaning evolved to its current form of 'to regard with disgust or hatred'.
