Crossword Genius

Hatred of a type (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aversion

'hatred' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a type' is the wordplay.
'type' becomes 'version' (version is a kind of type).
'a'+'version'='AVERSION'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aversion that I've seen before include "horror" , "Hate" , "A feeling of dislike or reluctance" , "A strong dislike or antipathy" , "A version of strong dislike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
