 en-mi-ty            

(enmi-te)n.pl. en-mi-ties. Deep-seated, often mutual hatred.[Middle English enemite, from Old French enemistie, from Vulgar Latin *inimicitas, from Latin inimicus, enemy. See ENEMY.]SYNONYM: enmity, hostility, antagonism, animosity, rancor, antipathy, animus These nouns refer to the feeling or expression of deep-seated ill will. Enmity is hatred such as might be felt for an enemy: The wartime enmity of the two nations subsided into mutual distrust when peace finally came. Hostility implies the clear expression of enmity, as in the form of belligerent attitudes or violent acts: "If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility" (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow). Antagonism is hostility that quickly results in active resistance, opposition, or contentiousness: antagonism between the liberal and conservative elements of the party. Animosity is angry ill will that often triggers the taking of rancorous or punitive action: tried to overcome his animosity toward governmental control. Rancor suggests the harboring of hatred and resentment typically traceable to past grievances that have led to a desire for revenge: parting without rancor. Antipathy is deep-seated aversion or repugnance: a deep antipathy to social pretension. Animus is ill will of a distinctively personal nature, often based on one's prejudices or temperament: an inexplicable animus against intellectuals.
