Google reports 1310 hits for the neologism "repungent" (meaning
"repugnant"). Works pretty well for "repungent body odor," less well
for "repungent politics." |

I reflect that "repungent" is actually a valid formation: consider
"redolent" and "refulgent".

My dictionary only has dolente, though it does have fulgent, which makes me
think of guerrillas in the mist.
