I see men as hostile people (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enemies

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

'people' is the definition.
(enemy is a kind of person)

'i see men as hostile' is the wordplay.
'i see men' anagrams to 'ENEMIES'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enemies that I've seen before include "Foes, opponents" , "Foes, hostile groups" , "Foes, adversaries" , "Those we fight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
