'turn' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'against stranger at last on phone' is the wordplay.
'against' becomes 'alie' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'stranger' indicates an anagram.
'last' suggests the final letters.
The last letters of 'on phone' are 'ne'.
'at'+'ne'='atne'
'atne' with letters rearranged gives 'nate'.
'alie'+'nate'='ALIENATE'

Can you help me to learn more?
