Charles Buck Theological Dictionary [1]
Hatred or dislike.
Dr. Watts and others oppose aversion to desire. When we look, say they, upon an object as good, it excites desire; but when we look upon an object as evil, it awakens what we call aversion or avoidance. But Lord Kaims observes that aversion is opposed to affection, and not to desire. We have an affection to one person; we have an aversion to another: the former disposes us to do good, the latter to do ill.
Webster's Dictionary [2]
(1): (n.) Opposition or repugnance of mind; fixed dislike; antipathy; disinclination; reluctance.
(2): (n.) The object of dislike or repugnance.
(3): (n.) A turning away.
