The latin for disgust is “taedium” or “tedium”. Or you could also use “revulsio” (revulsion).

Revulsion works better.

I wonder how “taedium” morphed from its Latin origin to its present meaning in English.

Both homo and phobos are Greek in origin. So using Greek you get aidia for disgust or misea/misos for hatred.
