One def here read:

  1. to feel an intense dislike for something

I've only ever heard it in a causative sense, and my dictionaries agree with me. Is this really attested? —Muke Tever 16:35, 25 Apr 2004 (UTC)

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

unfitting example - different meaning

[edit]

in this (currently second) example:

"1819, William Thomas Moncrieff, Rochester; or, King Charles the Second’s Merry Days: A Burletta, in Three Acts. […], London: Printed for John Lowndes, […], page 24: Mud This is a very specious piece of business; and above my implication—Dear me—dear me—what a thing it is, that one never can disgust one’s meals in peace—but one must be torn piecemeal with defamations—convocations—and other informalities—If I’d any of the fees and requisites of office for my pains—it would be a different thing—but every body knows I’m an ignoramous, and commit justice gratis—I must disperse the complaint."

'disgust' clearly means just "digest"/"eat"/"enjoy"/"degust".

It is absolutely not fitting as an example for the currently only given meaning --

AND as this shows another usage, probably this other (probably obsolete, probably rare) meaning should be added, too?
