According to Wiktionary[1]:
“hatred/dislike”.
It is used as an alternative to the suffix -phobia, which etymologically means fear (although -phobia is often used for hate/dislike)
that’s interesting. though i do like phobia meaning both fear and hatred, as that makes it an opposite of philia, which means love, so can also be seen as acceptance and liking a lot
I think (at least in Germany not sure about English speaking countries) a phobia is an officially recognised psychological condition so using it for bigots (who are not ill, just awful) could be viewed kinda ableist.
