Biological predisposition
Taste aversion is a type of classical conditioning where an individual associates a specific taste with feeling sick, leading to a dislike of that taste. Unlike other examples of classical conditioning, taste aversion can occur after just one pairing of the taste with feeling sick, and the association is often strong and long-lasting.
The form of classical conditioning in which a food that was once liked becomes avoided is known as taste aversion or food aversion. This occurs when an individual associates a particular food with feeling ill, leading to a conditioned response of avoiding that food in the future.
Chemotherapy patients often experience taste aversions to particular foods because they undergo a process of learning called classical conditioning. Classical conditioning occurs when a particular thing that doesn't actually elicit any reaction (called a neutral stimulus) is paired with something that naturally elicits some reaction (called an unconditioned stimulus), and then an association develops between the original stimulus and the reaction (after which the neutral stimulus is then referred to as the conditioned stimulus). The chemicals used in chemotherapy (unconditioned stimulus) are what naturally cause nausea and vomiting; however, sometimes food eaten soon after receiving chemotherapy treatment (neutral stimulus) can be associated with the feeling of illness caused by the chemo, then leading the patient to develop an aversion to that particular food item (now a conditioned stimulus). Typically, classical conditioning requires multiple pairings of the unconditioned and neutral stimulus; however, learned taste aversions can develop after a single pairing, because the body is biologically prepared to develop these.
He never liked me. He has developed an Aversion.
The technique is used and is called "Aversion Therapy." It is not commonly used because the effects do not work on everyone and do not always last. There are many types of aversion therapy that do not include the drug/film combination as in the film for example: someone that wants to stop eating fries have been told to chew a few fries, spit them into their hand and moosh them around in their hand while looking at them and then put them back in your mouth and back and forth. This will cause a natural anxiety and negative association towards fries which will make you not crave them and be disgusted when faced with them.

A dislike or a phobia of something. Such as--> I have an aversion to heights.
The prefix for the word "aversion" is "a-" which means "not" or "without". The root for the word "aversion" is "vers" which means "to turn".

Abursion is probably a distortion of the word aversion. Aversion is dislike, avoidance.
Antipathy is an aversion, dislike, or hatred.
Examples of associative learning include classical conditioning (Pavlov's dog salivating at the sound of a bell) and operant conditioning (a rat learning to press a lever for food). Other examples include taste aversion learning (associating a specific food with illness) and spatial learning (associating landmarks with specific locations).
