The term in literature and in an expression

Within the field of literature, a book stands out that has the word in question in its title. We are referring to “The Disgusts” , by Catherine Dolto , which is a collection of stories about emotional conflicts and the education of children.

The expression “unwillingly,” on the other hand, refers to acting reluctantly . When someone carries out an activity unwillingly, they do it out of obligation , without desire or enthusiasm. If a mother forces her child to tidy up and clean his room, the child will most likely do it unwillingly, since in reality he would prefer to spend that time playing or resting.
