Hatred from goblin right away (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spite

'hatred' is the definition.
(spite is a kind of hatred)

'goblin right away' is the wordplay.
'goblin' becomes 'sprite' (I've seen this before).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'away' is a deletion indicator.
'sprite' with 'r' taken out is 'SPITE'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spite that I've seen before include "Venom" , "animosity" , "Malicious desire to hurt or humiliate" , "Rancour" , "Bitchiness or malice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
