"Loath" is an adjective. It means averse to or against, in the sense of hating. It's rarely used in contemporary writing, but it is not uncommon in older writing. You would use it like this:

"I am loath to part with my grandmother's jewelry, but I could let you have this necklace for a hundred dollars."

"Although he was loath to discuss financial matters with his father, it was the only way to get a loan."

"Loathe" is a verb. It means to really hate or abhor. You would use it like this:

"I loathe seeing them together. She is such a sweetheart, and he is such a jerk."

"My husband loathes dancing, but he does love going out to clubs."
