One way of saying one doesn't like it? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aversion

'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'way of saying one doesn't like it?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'ave' (abbreviation for avenue, a type of 'way') and 'ave' is present in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aversion that I've seen before include "Dislike, hatred" , "Disgust" , "Hate" , "A strong dislike or repugnance" , "A version of strong dislike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
