Collocation: τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως
an abomination which desolates, a horrible thing which defiles (a fixed phrase derived from Hebrew, literally: the detestable thing of desolation) an abomination (either an object or an event) which defiles a holy place and thus causes it to be abandoned and left desolate In translating βδέλυγμα, it may be necessary in some languages to use a phrase such as ‘that which God detests’ or ‘that which God hates’ or even ‘that which causes God’s anger.’ The term ἐρημώσεως may then be translated as ‘that which causes people to abandon’ or ‘that which causes something to be deserted.’ The entire phrase may then be translated in some languages as ‘that which God detests and which causes something to be abandoned’ or ‘... left desolate.’

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
βδέλυγμα is “ἃ bibl. and eccl. word” in Grimm, and we are not able to challenge its right to a place in this greatly reduced But it is almost as much a part of the verb as βδελυκτός, which likewise independent status on Grimm’s page. The verb having appealed to the LXX translators as an excellent rendering of JYM and other Hebrew verbs, it was inevitable that when a derived noun category. has was wanted the regular formation should have been adopted or coined. Probably any Greek writer who wanted to express the idea of τὸ ἐβδελυγμένον would have done the same without hesitation.
