disgusted

Feeling intense loathing

Disgusted describes a strong feeling of revulsion or distaste.

The reaction can be physical—triggered by foul smells, rotting food, or bodily fluids—or moral, provoked by behavior that offends one's values: I'm disgusted by the way they treated her.

The word often implies contempt alongside the revulsion: He gave a disgusted sigh and walked out.
