Morphology
antipathy = pathy (opaque) = anti + pathy
The word contains the prefix anti- plus a bound classical element meaning feeling or suffering, but the full meaning 'dislike' is not readily recoverable for an average learner.
Etymology
Antipathy comes from Greek parts anti meaning 'against' and pathos meaning 'feeling', the same root you see in sympathy. So to have antipathy is to have a feeling 'against' someone or something — a strong dislike.
