Considerable violence or hate (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abhor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hate' is the definition.
(abhorring is a kind of hating)

'considerable violence or' is the wordplay.
'considerable violence' becomes 'abh' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'abh'+'or'='ABHOR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abhor that I've seen before include "Abominate" , "Despise" , "Find horrible" , "Dislike very much" , "Can't bear" .)
