What does 'hatred' mean to you?
Some words seem to be over used.

Question

Answer

@ Blitzy
"hate" is Noun & Verb,  not noun & adjective

Hatred of a person is something you feel when you do not regard the object of the feeling as a human being... wishing death or humiliation...

but more often it is used hyperbolically, especially in regard to things

Answer

I agree.  It's used too much.  In the end, you don't really know what the person means.  
"I hate blue cheese."
"I hate doing laundry."
"I hate you."
"I hate Country X."

And there are so many other more precise words to choose from:  dislike, detest, abhor, loathe, etc.

Answer

hatred - more poetic, and only NOUN
hate - Noun & adj
