dislike v.
ab aliqua re abhorrere or alienum esse (have an antipathy, aversion, etc., to): taedium mihi aliquid affert or adducit (wearies me, etc): aliquid mihi displicet (displeases me): fastidire aliquid (reject it with loathing; e.g., food): to dislike a person, ab aliquo esse animo alieno or averso; odium suscepisse adversus aliquem; odium concepisse in aliquem; aliquem odisse or odio habere. Sometimes, but very seldom, nolle alicui (e.g., cui qui nolunt iidem tibi non sunt amici, Cic.). To dislike to do anything, nolle with infinitive; gravari with infinitive (after Cic.’s time also with accusative, gravari terrenum equitem, Hor.; ilium acerbum, Sen.) non libet (aliquid facere; e.g., ire, scribere, etc.). If you dislike to go, I will go for you, ego ibo pro te, si tibi non libet (Plaut.). OBS. gravari and non libet are also used absolutely. But I will not press you, if you dislike it, sin tibi id minus libebit, non urgebo. I should not dislike it, if, etc., ego vero non gravarer, si, etc.
Disrelish, fastidire (to reject what offends either one’s physical or mental taste).
