antipathy
Significado: A deep-seated feeling of aversion or hostility towards someone or something.
Antipathy describes an instinctive, often irrational dislike that goes beyond mere disagreement. It suggests an emotional repulsion that is difficult to overcome through reason alone. In academic and journalistic writing, it frequently appears in analyses of political hostility, cultural conflicts, and ideological opposition. It is stronger than 'dislike' but less active than 'hatred.' The plural form 'antipathies' is also common, referring to multiple objects of aversion. It collocates with 'deep,' 'mutual,' 'personal,' 'towards,' and 'between.'
