The word "execrated" comes from the Latin word "execratus" which is the past participle of the verb "execrare". "Execrare" is derived from the combination of "ex", meaning "out" or "thoroughly", and "sacer", meaning "sacred" or "holy". Therefore, "execratus" originally meant "to put out of the sacred" or "to curse, abhor or detest". Over time, this Latin term evolved into "execrated", retaining its meaning of extreme dislike or condemnation.
