disgusted
A disgusted person has a strong feeling of dislike or revulsion towards something. They might feel this way about a smell, a food, a situation, or even someone's behavior.
When we say someone is disgusted, it usually means they're extremely unhappy with what's happening or what they've seen or experienced. For example, if you see a dirty and run-down public bathroom, you might feel disgusted by the sight of it. Or, if your friend eats something that tastes terrible to you, you could be disgusted for them. It's like your emotions are saying, "No way, I don't want anything to do with this!" If someone is grossed out or feels queasy, they might use the word disgusted too.
