Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the Latin verb 'abominari', meaning to deprecate or detest, which is formed from 'ab-' (away from, off) plus 'ominari' (to portend, from 'omen' meaning a sign or portent). Entering the English language in the 16th century, it originally carried a strong religious or superstitious sense of shrinking from something as an evil omen, eventually broadening to mean intense hatred or loathing.
