Definition
A feeling of intense hatred or disgust; something that is loathed or detested. The act of cursing or expressing abhorrence.
Etymology
From Latin 'execrari' meaning 'to curse' or 'to detest utterly,' combining 'ex-' (out) and 'sacer' (sacred). Originally meant to curse someone so thoroughly as to place them outside the sacred realm, making them utterly profane.
Kelly Says
Execration contains 'curse' in its DNA - it's about cursing something so completely you want it cast out of existence. Think of it as hatred so intense it's almost religious in nature - you're not just disliking something, you're calling down curses on it!
