   /əˈbäm(ə)nəb(ə)l/

   

   adjective

   • 1. causing moral revulsion: "the uprising was suppressed with abominable cruelty"
   • ▪ very bad or unpleasant: "a cup of abominable tea"

   Word Origin Middle English: via Old French from Latin abominabilis, from abominari (see abominate). The term was once widely believed to be from ab- ‘away from’ + Latin homine (from homo ‘human being’), thus ‘inhuman, beastly’, and frequently spelled abhominable until the 17th century.
