the.com/repulsion
The force that keeps you from falling through your own chair, dressed as a feeling.
means A strong feeling of disgust or aversion that drives you to recoil from something, or in physics the force pushing two objects apart.
from From Latin repulsus, the past participle of repellere — re- ("back") plus pellere ("to drive, push"), so literally "a driving back." That same pellere fathered a whole family of shoves: repel, compel, propel, expel, dispel. English borrowed repulsion through the late medieval period, first for the physical act of pushing away and later for the inner shove of distaste — the body recoiling and the soul recoiling sharing one Latin root.
