Be unable to stand, or look at, that man (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loathe

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

'be unable to stand' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'look at that man' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'that man' becomes 'he' (he refers to a man).
'lo'+'at'+'he'='LOATHE'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loathe that I've seen before include "Abhor, abominate" , "Cordially detest, thoroughly dislike" , "To heal (anag)" , "Dislike intensely" , "Abhor, execrate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
