Around wife, Everyman shall repeatedly feud (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill will

'feud' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'around wife everyman shall repeatedly' is the wordplay.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'wife' becomes 'w'.
'everyman' becomes 'i' (where 'Everyman' is the setter of the crossword).
'shall' becomes ''ll'.
'repeatedly' indicates the doubling of some letters.
'i'+'ll'='ill'
'ill' duplicated is 'illill'.
'w' put inside 'illill' is 'ILL-WILL'.

(Other definitions for ill will that I've seen before include "'Hostility or dislike (3,4)'" , "Bad feeling towards, hostility" , "Hostile, unfriendly feeling" , "Hostility, unkind feeling" , "Malice - unfriendliness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
