Avoiding feedback
Etymology
'feedback-averse' originates from the combination of 'feedback' and the suffix '-averse', where 'feedback' refers to information about reactions to a product or a person's performance, and '-averse' means having a strong dislike or opposition to something.
'Feedback' comes from the combination of 'feed' and 'back', while '-averse' is derived from Latin 'aversus', meaning 'turned away'.
Initially, 'averse' meant 'turned away', but in modern usage, it has evolved to mean 'having a strong dislike or opposition'.
