Malevolence, spite (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

malice

I believe this is a double definition.

'malevolence' is the first definition.
(I know that malevolence can be written as malice)

'spite' is the second definition.
(I know that spite can be written as malice)

(Other definitions for malice that I've seen before include "Hatred" , "Spitefulness" , "Bitterness" , "evil intent" , "Spite or spleen, perhaps aforethought" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex) and The Irish Times.
