enemy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Feind (from Middle High German vînt and Old High German fiant : " hating ") is a term for an adversary ; In older texts the term is regularly used as a synonym for the devil (as the greatest enemy of all). In military terminology, one speaks basically of the enemy instead of the opponent , without classifying the opponent as a monster or an object of hate.

Increases are the archenemy and the mortal enemy. Sometimes this is described as a hate figure (see also: ambivalence ), if you want to document that you look at someone shot has.
