What is a synonym for the word loath?

Answer:
Hate, abhor, despise, detest
_____________
The above are incorrect, but it may be useful for others to see them and to understand that they are wrong. This is a very commonly mis-understood word. The word loath is an adjective, not a verb.

Loath means to be reluctant, hesitant, or to be disinclined. "She was loath to accept the student into her class."

The words above are synonyms of the word loathe, which is a verb. "I loathe political discussions".
