- 1反感、厭惡（常帶「看不過去、覺得不堪」的味道，不只是口味不合）
Distaste is a feeling that something — or someone — is unpleasant, off-putting, or morally ugly. It is stronger and colder than a simple I don't like it. You might feel it toward leftover fish, toward a cruel joke, or toward a way of treating people. The body sense is still there in the word: it is as if the thing tastes bad, even when you are not eating. People often use it about behaviour and tone, not only about food. It is a little elevated; in chat a student would more often say I can't stand that or that feels wrong. There is an old verb to distaste, meaning to dislike, but you almost never hear it now. The living word is the noun, often after with: she looked at it with distaste.
組成From dis- (the opposite, the undoing) + taste.
