Question

detest v.厌恶；痛恨 (1) 我厌恶一切矫揉造作的行为。(2) 她讨厌在宴会上为应酬而和人交谈。(3) 我痛恨撒谎的人。 Detest comes from the Middle French word détester, meaning "to curse, to call God to witness and abhor." Though the words detest and hate are interchangeable, the word hate is much more common, which has caused it to lose some of its hateful impact. Detest is used more sparingly, reserved for cases where no other word will do, where your feelings of dislike are so powerful that they need just the right word to sum them up.
