He felt a deep aversion to noise.
Ihre Abneigung gegen Ungerechtigkeit war offensichtlich.
Her aversion to injustice was obvious.
Often used to describe a persistent or intense dislike, sometimes with emotional or moral undertones.
'Abneigung' is stronger than 'Antipathie' (antipathy) and implies a more visceral reaction.
Derived from the verb 'abneigen' (to incline away), combining 'ab-' (away) and 'neigen' (to incline).
While 'Abneigung' and 'Aversion' are often interchangeable, 'Abneigung' can sometimes imply a more personal or emotional dislike.
