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