Crossword Genius

See “hate” is misspelled, yes, “hate” (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

loathe

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hate' is the definition.
(I know that loathe has the is a more specific form of the action hate)

'see hate is misspelled yes' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'see' could be 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!') and 'lo' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'hate' is 'athe' which is within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loathe that I've seen before include "Feel intense dislike or disgust for" , "Feel hatred for" , "Hate (someone)" , "To heal (anag)" , "Greatly hate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
