Etymology
The word 'abominating' is derived from the verb 'abominate', which has its roots in the Latin word 'abominari'. This Latin term translates to 'to shun as an ill omen', combining 'ab-' meaning 'away from' and 'ominari' meaning 'to predict' or 'to forebode'. Over time, it evolved in Middle English and the early Modern English period to convey a sense of strong aversion or disgust. The usage of 'abominating' highlights a deep emotional response to a person, behavior, or practice that is considered reprehensible. As societal values shift, the specific subjects that people abominate may change, reflecting the norms and standards of different eras.
