loathsomeness
Quality of revulsion
Loathsomeness is the quality of inspiring intense disgust or revulsion.
The word applies to things so repugnant they provoke visceral rejection: the loathsomeness of the crime, the sheer loathsomeness of the conditions in the prison.
It emphasizes not just unpleasantness but something deeply offensive to the senses or moral sensibility.
