Oo: Odium

Found in the Apologetic of Tertullian:

But , if they condemn her unheard-let us set on one side the
odium such injustice will not incur- they will rouse the suspicion that they have some secret sense that they are unjust, when they refuse to hear what, once heard, they cannot condemn. (Line 3)

Odium (n):
1. Strong dislike, contempt, or aversion.
2. A state of disgrace resulting from hateful or detestable conduct.
