<syn>Syn. -- Distaste; disinclination; disapprobation; disfavor; disaffection; displeasure; disrelish; aversion; reluctance; repugnance; disgust; antipathy. -- <er>Dislike</er>, <er>Aversion</er>, <er>Reluctance</er>, <er>Repugnance</er>, <er>Disgust</er>, <er>Antipathy</er>. <i>Dislike</i> 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 <i>antipathy</i>, <i>repugnance</i>, <i>disgust</i>, and <i>aversion</i> are more intense phases of <i>dislike</i>. <i>Aversion</i> denotes a fixed and habitual dislike; <as>as, an <ex>aversion</ex> to or for business</as>. <i>Reluctance</i> and <i>repugnance</i> denote a mental strife or hostility something proposed (<i>repugnance</i> being the stronger); <as>as, a <ex>reluctance</ex> to make the necessary sacrifices, and a <ex>repugnance</ex> to the submission required</as>. <i>Disgust</i> is repugnance either of taste or moral feeling; <as>as, a <ex>disgust</ex> at gross exhibitions of selfishness</as>. <i>Antipathy</i> 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 <i>aversion</i> to what breaks in upon their habits; a <i>reluctance</i> and <i>repugnance</i> to what crosses their will; a <i>disgust</i> at what offends their sensibilities; and are often governed by <i>antipathies</i> for which they can give no good reason.</syn>
