In literature, the term repugnant is often deployed to express a profound clash between what is natural or reasoned and what is culturally or morally unacceptable. Authors use it to denote ideas, actions, or emotions that are fundamentally at odds with established norms—for instance, as a mark of intellectual dissonance or moral disdain, where an argument or behavior is so contrary to accepted principles that it evokes deep repulsion [1, 2, 3]. It frequently appears in philosophical debates, where the repugnance of certain doctrines highlights an inherent conflict with nature or reason [4, 5, 6], while in narrative contexts it conveys personal or societal disgust toward actions or customs [7, 8, 9]. Across diverse genres and periods, repugnant thus functions as a powerful linguistic tool for critiquing what is perceived as fundamentally disagreeable or unsound.
