Husband consumed with enmity (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hate

'enmity' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'husband consumed' is the wordplay.
'husband' becomes 'h'.
'consumed' becomes 'ate' (eating is a kind of consuming).
'h'+'ate'='HATE'

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for hate that I've seen before include "Passionately dislike" , "Detest" , "Passion" , "Thoroughly dislike, loathe" , "Abominate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
