Hostile soldier maybe touching one arrested (12)

I believe the answer is:

antipathetic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hostile' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'soldier maybe touching one arrested' is the wordplay.
'soldier' becomes 'ant' (soldier is a type of ant).
'maybe touching' becomes 'pathetic' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'maybe' bit.).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'arrested' indicates putting letters inside (arrest can mean to hold or imprison).
'ant'+'pathetic'='antpathetic'
'antpathetic' going around 'i' is 'ANTIPATHETIC'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for antipathetic that I've seen is " Hateful".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
