Hostile state (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hostile state</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know this)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for enmity that I've seen before include "discord" , "Bad blood" , "ill will" , "Antagonism, ill-will" , "Hostility, bad feeling towards" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
