Be.hate.d, n. - something hated deep within the heart. Opposite of beloved. Examples: Peter Pan is beloved, Captain Hook is behated. Sleeping Beauty is beloved, Maleficent is behated.
- My behated enemy
I think that's the clearest way to explain my new favourite word, behated. My hubby used it today. My hubby is a teacher. He is participating in a fundraiser where the students buy tickets for a draw. The winner of the draw will get to throw a pie at my husband tomorrow. More than one teacher is participating. My hubby has the most tickets in his bowl. He said that either means he is beloved or behated. Then we talked about whether behated is a word. We were pleased with ourselves. It is not a real word, but it should be. (Wiktionary was the only place we could find an entry. I don't think that counts.) I may start using it in future posts.
