Just goes to show something or other. I automatically analysed revulsed as being from a verb revulse. Onelook refers to dictionary.com and Websters for revulse and they give the meaning pull back with force and ascribe it to Cowper (the poet? no dates given).

When I googled revulse and then revulsed there were about 8 or 9 times as many examples of revulsed. Using Onelook I found that revulsed is listed in AHD and Merriam-Websters as an adjective meaning "affected with revulsion". MW dates it back to 1934, but that doesn't make me like it any better.

Of course in a print dicitionary you would see the adjective revulsed if you tried to look up an almost non-existent verb revulse.
