hates

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

'strong dislikes' is the definition.
'hates' can be an answer for 'dislikes' (I've seen this before). I'm not sure about the 'strong' bit.

'as the result' is the wordplay.
'result' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'result of' mean this).
'as'+'the'='asthe'
'asthe' anagrammed gives 'HATES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hates that I've seen before include "Abhors" , "Despises" , "passionate feelings" , "Dislikes intensely" , "can't stand" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
