There are several interpretations, but it seems the most agreed one is "hated by everyone" (His grandad, Autolycus named him that way, and that's fiting with Autolycus' character).

@sflaningam7680 Autolycus was the most known thief in Greek miths, a shapeshifter and an outcast (starting from the name "a wolf himself") that, when he was not on an adventure, lived isolated, hunting on mount Parnassus.

@danieldubinsky95 "I have odysseused many in my time, up and down the wide world, man and women both, therefore let his name be Odysseus" (Odissey, book 19). "odyssasthai" is an "active" form of "being hated", it means both "being hated" and "cause pain". Something like "causing pain, and being hated for that". Autolykos was also the one that taught Odysseus hunting (there were not many possibilities in the small island of Ithaca). During a hunt on mt. Parnassus young Odysseus was almost killed by a wild boar, and received the scar on the tight he was known for. On some version, he was also the one that gave him the famous bow.
