Crossword Genius

Resent some that escaped (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hate

'resent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'some that escaped' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'HATE' can be found hidden inside 'that escaped'.

(Other definitions for hate that I've seen before include "Passionately dislike" , "Detest" , "Dislike intensely" , "Odium" , "'Unimaginable as ---- in Heav'n': Milton" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
