- FloorEgg 11mo agoSure, but I have never heard anyone use this either. This is not common in discourse. I also find the wiki description and your comment somewhat ambiguous. Even in this case it's hard to descern between absence of want or a negative want. Edit: due to either my own personal misunderstanding or maybe cultural niche, "reject" is also ambiguous because it could mean an absence of want and not necessarily a negative want. However I just learned that in semiotics "reject" does mean distinctly a negative. So yep, "diswant" is exactly what I've seen lacking. Now the question is why don't people use it more? I'll try. Thanks for sharing.
