Olive runs around in abhorrence (9)
I believe the answer is:
revulsion
'abhorrence' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'olive runs around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'olive'+'runs'='oliveruns'
'oliveruns' with letters rearranged gives 'REVULSION'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Another definition for revulsion that I've seen is " Disgust".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
