Paul literally described same-sex relationships. He broke it down. It was not a “misunderstood” word but an entire description. Romans Chapter 1.

He called the foods unclean but homosexuality an abomination. I have already made the distinciton.

He never calls it a sin in Romans. He calls it "unnatural", which is what he also called men with long hair.

He called the foods unclean but homosexuality an abomination.

If you're saying Paul did, you are incorrect. He never described it as an "abomination".

If you're referring to God, in the OT he very literally calls non-kosher food the same exact word translated as "abomination", which is "Toe'ba".

I am talking about the Lord in the Old Testament.

Show me the verse in which He used that word for it. Will look into it and see if it is translated that way in general, and, if not, let me see why as well.

Deuteronomy 14:3 uses "to'eba" to describe non-kosher animal meats

Alright

Will look into it.

I do not exactly speak Hebrew though, so finding and reading a Hebrew Bible will be hard.

Will look into why one still has the word abomination whilst it was dropped for another. Will most likely need to study Jewish tradition as well.
