How these synonyms differ
- abhor - 'Abhor' is the most formal and absolute, it implies deep moral opposition. You abhor practices you consider fundamentally wrong.
- despise - 'Despise' adds contempt, you look down on what you hate. It implies moral or intellectual superiority over the target.
- detest - 'Detest' is intense, principled hatred, you detest cruelty, dishonesty, or injustice. It carries a firm, almost righteous edge.
- loathe - 'Loathe' is visceral, it's hatred felt in the stomach, bordering on physical revulsion. Stronger and more primal than 'hate.'
