"disgusting / repulsive / foul"

In Islamic law, mordar is meat from an animal that died without proper halal slaughter — it's haram, impure, rotting, forbidden. Calling someone mordar says they are spiritually rotten, like meat left in the sun. The physical disgust of rotten flesh is the intended image.
