1I know that it's possible to use the direct way (=They hate someone), but the question is on the other way. I'd like to know how to use the word "hating" as a noun. – Virtuous Legend May 18 '19 at 19:51

Then, my assuming was a mistake. I don't really know why I assumed that hating is the noun form of theverb hate. I learnt something new today. Please write it as an answer. Also the word "hate" by itself may be a noun. https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/hate_2 – Virtuous Legend May 18 '19 at 20:56

The noun form of the verb is not hating but hatred. In the Oxford Dictionaries:
NOUN
Intense dislike; hate.
racial hatred
his murderous hatred of his brother
Or hate also in the Oxford Dictionaries:
NOUN
Intense dislike.
feelings of hate and revenge
What is the difference? Please see this previous question.
