Supporting offers made hostile (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

forbidding

'hostile' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'supporting offers' is the wordplay.
'supporting' becomes 'for' (I've seen this in another clue).
'offers' becomes 'bidding' (an offer is a bid).
'for'+'bidding'='FORBIDDING'

'made' is the link.

(Other definitions for forbidding that I've seen before include "sinister" , "Grim" , "Ominous" , "Banning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
