      A mineral consisting of the arseniate of lime; -- so named in
      honor of W. Haidinger, of Vienna.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Hate \Hate\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Hated}; p. pr. & pr. & vb. n.
      {Hating}.] [OE. haten, hatien, AS. hatian; akin to OS. hatan,
      hat[?]n to be hostile to, D. haten to hate, OHG. hazz[?]n,
      hazz[?]n, G. hassen, Icel. & Sw. hata, Dan. hade, Goth.
      hatan, hatian. [?][?][?]. Cf. {Hate}, n., {Heinous}.]
      1. To have a great aversion to, with a strong desire that
            evil should befall the person toward whom the feeling is
            directed; to dislike intensely; to detest; as, to hate
            one's enemies; to hate hypocrisy.
  
                     Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. --1 John
                                                                              iii. 15.
  
      2. To be very unwilling; followed by an infinitive, or a
            substantive clause with that; as, to hate to get into

      3. (Script.) To love less, relatively. --Luke xiv. 26.
  
      Syn: To {Hate}, {Abhor}, {Detest}, {Abominate}, {Loathe}.
  
      Usage: Hate is the generic word, and implies that one is
                  inflamed with extreme dislike. We abhor what is deeply
                  repugnant to our sensibilities or feelings. We detest
                  what contradicts so utterly our principles and moral
                  sentiments that we feel bound to lift up our voice
                  against it. What we abominate does equal violence to
                  our moral and religious sentiments. What we loathe is
                  offensive to our own nature, and excites unmingled
                  disgust. Our Savior is said to have hated the deeds of
                  the Nicolaitanes; his language shows that he loathed
                  the lukewarmness of the Laodiceans; he detested the
                  hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees; he abhorred
                  the suggestions of the tempter in the wilderness.
