ἐμίσησα
miséō
To feel animosity toward, to regard with aversion or act in opposition to; the primary meaning is to hate or detest. In extended usage, especially in Semitic-influenced contexts such as the Septuagint and New Testament, it can mean 'to love less' or 'to prefer less strongly,' often in contrast to the verb ἀγαπάω (to love). This secondary sense arises in comparative statements to express priority rather than emotional hostility.
