Dislike a variant? (8)

I believe the answer is:

aversion

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

'a variant?' is the wordplay.
'variant?' becomes 'version' ('version' can be a synonym of 'variant').
'a'+'version'='AVERSION'

(Other definitions for aversion that I've seen before include "horror" , "Strong disinclination" , "A feeling of dislike or reluctance" , "Disgust" , "A strong dislike for something - turn away from it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
