“Some of my interests are playing video games, mainly RPGs (role playing games) as it takes you away from some of the abhorrent things I’ve seen that humans are capable of doing to each other.”

I encountered this word while reading one of my colleagues projects about themselves. I analyzed context clues and I came to a conclusion that it meant something bad. The definition gave me another word that I didn’t quite understand which was “repugnance”. And repugnance means intense disgust. To gain a better understanding of the word abhorrence I looked up synonyms and familiar words such as “hateful, disgust, and revolting” came up. Abhorrent can also mean utterly opposed or on the contrary, but I feel like disgust or revolting fits this context the best.
