Crossword Genius

Dislike what everybody shows (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hate

'dislike' is the definition.
(to hate is to dislike strongly)

'what everybody shows' is the wordplay.
'shows' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HATE' can be found hidden inside 'what everybody'.

(Other definitions for hate that I've seen before include "Dislike intensely" , "Abhor" , "Strongly dislike" , "Intense dislike" , "Despise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
