Aversion is stated another way (8)
I believe the answer is:
distaste
'aversion' is the definition.
(I know that aversion can be written as distaste)
'is stated another way' is the wordplay.
'another way' is an anagram indicator.
'is'+'stated'='isstated'
'isstated' with letters rearranged gives 'DISTASTE'.
(Other definitions for distaste that I've seen before include "Repugnance" , "Adverse reaction" , "Negative feeling" , "Mild dislike, aversion" , "Not liking" .)
