REPULSING Meaning and
Definition
-
Repulsing is a verb that refers to the act of pushing away, driving back, or rejecting something or someone forcefully or with great intensity. It involves the forceful action of refusing, resisting, or rebuffing a person, thing, or an idea.
In a physical sense, repulsing can describe the reaction of the body or an object that moves away from something due to a strong and adverse force. For example, when two magnets with the same poles are brought close to each other, they repulse or repel each other, causing a strong pushback.
In a figurative sense, repulsing can occur when someone is strongly and instinctively opposed to an idea, proposal, or suggestion. This could be emotionally or intellectually repulsed by something due to a deep-seated aversion, disagreement, or disgust. For instance, a person might feel repulsed by graphic violence in a movie or the idea of discrimination, and therefore strongly reject or condemn it.
Additionally, repulsing can relate to personal interactions and social dynamics. It could involve refusing advances or rejecting someone's romantic interest, pushback against unwanted attention, or repelling an unwanted invader or assailant. Repulsing in this context implies a forceful act of setting boundaries or defending oneself against unwelcome advances or threats.
Overall, repulsing conveys a strong and determined action of pushing away or rejecting something or someone with force, whether physically or metaphorically, due to a deep dislike, opposition, or aversion.

Etymology of REPULSING
The word "repulsing" is derived from the verb "repulse", which has its origins in Middle French and Latin.
In Middle French, the word was "repousser", which meant "to push back" or "to repel". This Middle French word can be traced back to the Latin verb "repulsare", a variant of "repellere", meaning "to drive back" or "to repel".
The Latin word "repellere" is derived from the prefix "re-" (meaning "back") and the verb "pellere" (meaning "to push").
Over time, "repulse" gave rise to the gerund form "repulsing", which refers to the act of repelling or pushing back someone or something.
