abominable
Worthy of hatred
Abominable describes something that inspires disgust or moral revulsion.
An abominable act is deeply offensive to conscience; abominable conditions are shockingly bad.
The word carries more weight than merely unpleasant—it suggests something worthy of condemnation: The treatment of prisoners was abominable.
In casual use, it can mean extremely unpleasant: abominable weather.
