Wild boar outside hotel can't stand (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abhor

'can't stand' is the definition.
(if you abhor something you can't stand it)

'wild boar outside hotel' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'outside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'boar' with letters rearranged gives 'abor'.
'abor' placed around 'h' is 'ABHOR'.

(Other definitions for abhor that I've seen before include "Loathe, find repugnant" , "Hate or dislike intensely" , "Abominate" , "Despise" , "can't stand" .)
