- 1反感、厭惡（較書面）
Antipathy is a strong dislike. It is the feeling itself, not the face you make. You can have antipathy towards a person, a group, or a kind of thing (“a deep antipathy to modern art”). It is a rather formal, word. In daily talk, people say “I can’t stand it” or “I really don’t like them.” Antipathy is colder than hate: hate can burn hot; antipathy can sit there for years, quiet and settled, sometimes with no clear story why. You can also speak of mutual antipathy when two people simply cannot bear each other. Though actually, writers sometimes dress up a small dislike in this big word; the true sense is strong, not a mild preference.
組成Borrowed from Middle French antipathie, from Latin antipathīa, from Ancient Greek antĭpátheiă: anti- (“against”) + pathos (“feeling, suffering”). The anti- piece is very old, with the sense “against” or “facing.”
