and its derivatives rather than from, as was formerly
the usage. In this the word is in agreement with its
kindred terms, hatred, dislike, dissimilar, contrary,
repugnant, etc., expressing a relation or an affection
of the mind to an object.
[1913 Webster]

yield; reluctant to make the necessary arrangements; a
reluctant will or consent. Adverse denotes active
opposition or hostility; as, adverse interests;
