A picture you can hold: the face you make when something rotten reaches you — nose , head turning away, stomach turning over. The body's own "get this away from me", before you have decided anything.
From the word’s history
From Old French desgouster: des- ("un-, away") + gouster ("to taste", from Latin gustus, "a tasting"). Literally "to un-taste" — to take someone's appetite away. That is why the word still lives in the mouth and stomach even when the thing offending you is somebody's behaviour.
這個字拆開來看是 dis-（去掉、相反）＋ gust（嘗、味道，來自拉丁文 gustus），字面就是「把胃口拿掉」——古法文 desgouster 原本的意思正是「讓人倒胃口」。這完全解釋了核心畫面為什麼長在嘴巴和胃裡：即使今天你用它來講一件貪污案，那個身體反應的底子還在，說話的人是在表達「這東西讓我吃不下」。同一個字根還留在 gusto（津津有味）裡，剛好是相反的方向。
