HO-tan de EE-dê-te to BDE-lyg-ma tês e-rê-mô-se-ôs he-stê-KO-ta HO-pou ou DEI ho a-na-gi-NŌ-skon no-EI-tō TO-te hoi en têi i-ou-dai-A pheu-GE-tō-san eis ta O-rê
Exegesis
The direct object of idete is the noun phrase to bdelygma tēs erēmōseōs {τὸ βδέλυγμα τῆς ἐρημώσεως | tò bdé-lyg-ma tês e-rē-mó-se-ōs}, with a head noun and a dependent genitive, forming the technical apocalyptic expression “the abomination of desolation.”
This participial phrase is further located by the relative adverb hopou {ὅπου | hó-pou} introducing the clause hopou ou dei {ὅπου οὐ δεῖ | hó-pou ou deî}, an impersonal construction meaning “where it is not permitted” or “where it must not be,” thereby stressing the illegitimacy and sacrilegious nature of its placement.
Root and etymology

“to feel nausea, to abhor”
In context — Mark 13:14
But when you see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not (let the one who reads understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.
