Disgust
Disgust is an emotion typically associated with things that are unclean or uneatable. Disgust is one of the basic emotions of Robert Plutchik[?]'s theory of emotions.
Disgust may be further subdivided into physical disgust, associated with physical or metaphorical uncleanness, and moral disgust, a similar feeling related to courses of action.
