antipathies

Deep-seated loathings

Antipathies is the plural of antipathy, a strong feeling of dislike or aversion toward someone or something.

The word suggests a deep-seated opposition rather than mere preference—you might have antipathies toward certain foods or long-standing antipathies between rival factions.

Antipathies often implies mutual hostility or an inherent incompatibility between parties, as in the antipathies between the two families dated back generations.
