Learn English – word for “extreme disgust”

single-word-requests

I've been trying to avoid using the two words "extreme/extremely" and "disgust/disgusted" in my sentences, but I can't find any appropriate substitute for "extremely disgusted".

I was thinking something along the lines of "abject horror" but that doesn't necessarily convey "disgust". Is there a more specific word that describes extreme disgust?

Best Answer

Revulsion would fit.

noun [mass noun]
1 a sense of disgust and loathing:
news of the attack will be met with sorrow and revulsion

[ODO]

Although it has a similar appearance and meaning to finding something revolting, it has a different etymology. If you are revolted your insides turn upside-down; revulsion means they are pulled apart.
