Hate to see platform with no power (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odium

'hate' is the definition.
(I know that odium is a type of hate)

'platform with no power' is the wordplay.
'platform' becomes 'podium' (podium is a kind of platform).
'with no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'power' becomes 'p' (symbol in physics).
'podium' with 'p' taken out is 'ODIUM'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for odium that I've seen before include "General dislike" , "Widespread dislike or disgust" , "reproach" , "Offensiveness" , "Widespread hatred or abhorrence (5)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
