Loathing of treated carbon here? (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abhorrence

'loathing' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'treated carbon here?' is the wordplay.
'treated' is an anagram indicator.
'carbon'+'here'='carbonhere'
'carbonhere' anagrammed gives 'ABHORRENCE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for abhorrence that I've seen before include "Feeling of revulsion" , "hatred" , "Disgusted loathing" , "Hate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
