A particular form of dislike (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aversion

'dislike' is the definition.
(aversion is a kind of dislike)

'a particular form' is the wordplay.
'particular form' becomes 'version' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'version'='AVERSION'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for aversion that I've seen before include "Feeling of intense dislike" , "phobia" , "A strong dislike or repugnance" , "serious dislike" , "Abhorrence - loathing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph and The Globe and Mail.
