Absolute type of hatred (8)

I believe the answer is:

aversion

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hatred' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'absolute type' is the wordplay.
'absolute' becomes 'a' (this could be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'type' becomes 'version' (version is a kind of type).
'a'+'version'='AVERSION'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aversion that I've seen before include "serious dislike" , "A version of strong dislike" , "Abhorrence - loathing" , "an object of dislike" , "distaste" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
