odiousness
Quality inspiring disgust
Odiousness is the quality of being hateful, repugnant, or deserving strong contempt.
The word emphasizes moral revulsion rather than mere dislike: the odiousness of the crime, the sheer odiousness of his betrayal.
Something odious inspires disgust or loathing, and odiousness names that quality in the abstract.
