To abominate something is to hate it very much — not a passing dislike, but a deep, almost moral turning-away. I abominate cruelty. It is a formal, rather old-fashioned verb; younger speakers almost never use it in casual talk, and even older speakers may sound when they do. You will meet it in novels, speeches, and careful writing more than at the night market. It takes the thing you hate as its object: you abominate a practice, a lie, a kind of treatment — you do not “abominate to someone.”
痛恨、深惡痛絕（文、偏老派）
組成First seen in 1644. It was perhaps cut back from abomination, or perhaps from Latin abominatus, “treated as a bad omen” (ab- “away” + ominari “to forebode,” from omen). Scholars are not sure which path is right.
