Aborrecemos

Aborrecemos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb aborrecer, meaning we detest or we loathe. The verb expresses a strong sense of repulsion or moral condemnation toward a person, action, or situation. It can appear in formal or literary contexts as well as in everyday speech when a high level of indignation is intended. The related noun aborrecimiento refers to the feeling of detestation.

Etymology: Aborrecemos comes from the verb aborrecer, which in turn derives from Latin forms such as abhorrēre or aborrescere, combining a prefix meaning away with a root related to horror or shuddering. The word shares the same lineage as other Romance-language verbs expressing strong disgust, and is cognate with English abhor.

Conjugation and usage: Presente de indicativo: yo aborrezco, tú aborreces, él/ella/Ud. aborrece, nosotros aborrecemos, vosotros aborrecéis, ellos/ellas/Uds. aborrecen. Examples: Aborrezco la mentira; Aborrecen la corrupción. The verb is used to express strong disapproval of actions, conduct or situations rather than mild dislike, and it may carry a formal or emphatic tone depending on context.
