Disliked intensely (5)
I believe the answer is:
'disliked intensely' is the definition.
('hate' can be a synonym of 'dislike intensely')
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hated that I've seen before include "Abhorred" , "gave stinking review to?" , "viewed with hostility" , "Abominated" , "Heartily disliked" .)
