Shakespeare suffering from animosity? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
ill will
'animosity?' is the definition.
(animosity is a kind of ill will)
'shakespeare suffering' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'shakespeare' could be 'will' (William Shakespeare) and 'will' is present in the answer.
'suffering' could be 'ill' (suffering with illness) and 'ill' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ill will that I've seen before include "Hostile and unkind feeling" , "Hostility, malevolence" , "'Hostility or dislike (3,4)'" , "Rancour" , "Positively unfriendly disposition" .)
