   What is the difference between odious and obnoxious?

   • Odious is typically used in the context of personality, and relates to "hate". It comes from the Latin word, "odium", which means "to hate". Obnoxious is also typically used in context of personality, but reflects more annoyance than hate. A person with a bad habit, or unpleasant personality may be obnoxious, but you may not find them to be odious.
