Hatred is a word to describe immense feelings of dislike toward someone or something, as well as prejudice or bigotry against a class of people, racism being a prominent example of this. The term hate crime is used to designate crimes committed out of hatred in this sense.
The passions of hate arise from several features of our thinking process. These include a desire to strengthen our community and to alleviate our fear. The ability to quickly separate friend from foe is essential to self-defense and safety and provides the origins of hate.[1]
However, hatred in modern life is frequently unrelated to survival or self-defense. People are capable of hating others for any particular reason, people with different political and religious views, different lifestyles, and fans of opposing sports teams, to name but a few. Hatred is often a long-term side-effect of an incapability to satisfy one's desire for revenge against another particular person.
Also, the feelings of hate can arise unexpectedly. If one has experienced maltreatment in the past, it is proven that one is more likely to maltreat and learn to dislike or "hate" people before they get to know the person. This is shown clearly in the pattern of people who are abused, ignored, neglected, or maltreated by their parents, and those children's tendency to become abusive or angry.
In English, the subject of hatred of a thing is generally given the name mis-<<Hellenistic or Latinate name of the thing>> or anti-<<name of the thing>>, e.g.: misanthropy, misogyny, misandry, antisemitism, etc.
