abhorred
Found utterly repugnant
Abhorred is the past tense of abhor, meaning to regard with intense disgust or hatred.
What is abhorred provokes moral revulsion, not mere dislike: Violence was abhorred by the community.
The word carries stronger condemnation than "hated"—suggesting something found repugnant or loathsome: He abhorred cruelty in any form.
