Crossword Genius

Olive runs around in abhorrence (9)

Ross

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.
