How do you use the word anathema in a sentence?

Answer 1

"The words "your grand father has past away" were anathema to the little girl."

Absolutely awful example, because "past" is not a verb, it's a noun, as in "the distant past". "Passed away" is the correct word to use when referring to death in the form of a verb.

Example of proper usage: "The question from the moderator required actual thought, a word anathema to most talking heads on Fox News that were reviewing the presidential debate, as they weren't able to put their normal spin on the candidates' responses."

Answer 2

The group considered his actions anathema to their principles.

Answer 3

anathema means: something/someone that's hated or shunned.

That subject is anathema to him.

Obedience is anathema to Jacob.

Answer 4

An anathema is an object of loathing. An example sentence would be: She was his anathema at that time of his life.
