I believe the answer is:
spite
'resentment' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spite that I've seen before include "Hatred" , "Desire to intentionally and maliciously hurt or offend" , "animosity" , "Rancour" , "Venom" .)
