hate

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

'loathe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hate that I've seen before include "Loathing" , "powerful emotion" , "Extreme dislike" , "'Unimaginable as ---- in Heav'n': Milton" , "[OPPOSITE OF] Be besotted with" .)
