أَبْغَضَto loathe / to hate in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَلَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْءٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ

  And there was not anything more hated to me than it.

  أَبْغَضَ — more hated. This is the comparative shape 'more hated', and it works with the 'than' phrase later to set up a comparison. It is not a finite past verb but an adjective-like comparison form, describing the 'anything' as more hateful than the thing named after 'than'.
