A translation that creates antipathy (8)
I believe the answer is:
aversion
'antipathy' is the definition.
(I know that antipathy can be written as aversion)
'a translation' is the wordplay.
'translation' becomes 'version' (synonyms).
'a'+'version'='AVERSION'
'that creates' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aversion that I've seen before include "Extreme dislike" , "serious dislike" , "phobia" , "Feeling of intense dislike" , "A feeling of dislike or reluctance" .)
