Etymology

The word 'abhor' originates from the Latin verb 'abhorrere,' which means 'to shrink back from' or 'to detest.' This Latin term is a combination of the prefix 'ab-' meaning 'away from' and 'horrescere,' meaning 'to shudder' or 'to tremble.' 'Abhor' entered Middle English in the late 14th century and has been used in literary and religious texts to express a strong moral repulsion towards certain actions or behaviors. Over time, the term has maintained its connotation of disgust and aversion, often appearing in discussions about ethics, personal beliefs, and societal values.
