Etymology
بَغِيض comes from the Arabic root ب غ ض. The base verb بَغُضَ means to be hateful or detested. The pattern فَعِيل carries a passive sense here, so بغيض literally means the one who is hated, and by extension hateful or odious. The same root produces بُغْض, hatred, and أَبْغَضَ, to hate. This is a native Arabic root, and no confirmed cognates in other Semitic languages are tracked here.
