Aversive
Hello,
What exactly does "aversive" mean in this sentence?
"But the same situation from the viewpoint of the mother looks quite different; she finds the baby's crying aversive and she would like to terminate it."
I looked it up in my dictionaries but I don't think I understand it.
Thank you
