revulsion (ri-VUHL-shuhn) - n., the act of suddenly drawing away; a sudden and unpleasant violent reaction in feeling, esp. one of extreme loathing.


From Latin revellere, to tear away, from re-, away + our friend of the week vellere, to pull.

And that ends the week of -vulsions -- back on Monday with the regular mashup.
