Disgusts is the third-person singular present form of disgust. Use the unpleasant thing as the subject and the affected person as the object: The smell disgusts everyone. Because disgust ends in the voiceless sound /t/, the added -s is pronounced /s/, producing the consonant sequence /sts/ at the end. Connect the word historically with taste: something so unpleasant that you instinctively reject it. Contrast active The dirty kitchen disgusts the manager with passive The manager is disgusted by the kitchen; both describe the same reaction from different viewpoints.

disgusts の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 dis-（反対）+ gustus（味覚）が古フランス語 desgoust を経て英語に。原義は「不快な味」で、そこから精神的な嫌悪へ拡大した。関連語: gusto（熱意＝味わう喜び）、gustatory（味覚の）。味覚の拒否反応が感情全般の拒絶を表すようになった語。
Disgusts is formed by adding the third-person singular ending -s to disgust. Disgust entered English through French dégoût or related forms and ultimately combines a negative or reversing prefix with Latin gustus, “taste.” It originally concerned distaste or an unpleasant flavor, then broadened to strong physical, emotional, or moral revulsion. Related words such as gustatory preserve the underlying connection with taste.
