Crossword Genius

Drove off disgusted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

repelled

I believe this is a double definition.

'drove off' is the first definition.
('repel' can be a synonym of 'drive off')

'disgusted' is the second definition.
('repel' can be a synonym of 'disgust')

(Other definitions for repelled that I've seen before include "Drove something or someone back" , "Fought off" , "Forced or drove back" , "Drove away" , "Disgusted or drove back" .)

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