Behold an object with hatred (8)
I believe the answer is:
loathing
'hatred' is the definition.
(I know that loathing is a type of hatred)
'behold an object' is the wordplay.
'behold' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'an' becomes 'a'.
'object' becomes 'thing' (an object is a thing or item).
'lo'+'a'+'thing'='LOATHING'
'with' is the link.
(Other definitions for loathing that I've seen before include "Hatred, disgust" , "Alight on, feeling great dislike" , "Intense dislike" , "Abhorrence" , "Disliking intensely" .)
