strong dislike or distaste

A very strong feeling that you do not like something and want to stay away from it.

استعمال کا انداز: have an aversion to [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "aversion" with the adjective "averse". Use "aversion" as a noun ("have an aversion to noise"), and "averse" as an adjective ("I am averse to noise"). Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition; the natural pattern is "aversion to", not "aversion for" or "aversion of".

thing or person strongly disliked

A person, thing, or activity that someone really does not like.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is [someone]'s aversion

Learners sometimes use "aversion" only for feelings and not for the thing itself. In this sense, you can say "X is my aversion" to mean that X is something you especially dislike.
ہم معنی الفاظ
pet hate (Informal, especially British English; a favorite thing to complain about or dislike.) | bugbear (Something that regularly annoys or worries someone; may be less about disgust and more about irritation.)
متضاد الفاظ
favorite (A person or thing someone especially likes, opposite of a thing they especially dislike.) | preference (Something someone likes or chooses more than others, contrasting with a special dislike.)

tendency to avoid something

A general habit or preference to stay away from a certain kind of situation, such as risk or loss.

استعمال کا انداز: [type] aversion
عام غلطی:
Learners may treat this only as an emotion. In technical or business contexts, "aversion" often describes a stable preference or decision pattern (as in "risk aversion"), not just a passing feeling.
ہم معنی الفاظ
reluctance (A general unwillingness; less technical and may be weaker than a systematic aversion.) | avoidance (Focuses on the behavior of staying away, while aversion implies an underlying stable preference or dislike.)
متضاد الفاظ
willingness (Readiness to do or accept something, the opposite of a tendency to avoid it.) | appetite (In phrases like "risk appetite", it means a desire or acceptance of risk, opposite of risk aversion.)
