   Syn: Hatred; abhorrence; detestation; antipathy.

   Usage: {Odium}, {Hatred}. We exercise hatred; we endure
          odium. The former has an active sense, the latter a
          passive one. We speak of having a hatred for a man,
          but not of having an odium toward him. A tyrant incurs
          odium. The odium of an offense may sometimes fall
          unjustly upon one who is innocent.
          [1913 Webster]

                I wish I had a cause to seek him there,
                To oppose his hatred fully.       --Shak.
          [1913 Webster]

                You have . . . dexterously thrown some of the
                odium of your polity upon that middle class
                which you despise.                --Beaconsfield.
          [1913 Webster]
