plural of enmity; strong feelings of dislike, hatred, or hostility between people or groups.
From enmity (from Old French enemitie, from Latin inimicitia, from inimicus meaning 'enemy'). The plural form refers to multiple instances of hostile relationships.
Historians discovered that many famous 'enmities'—like the vendetta between Montagues and Capulets that inspired Romeo and Juliet—often started from such trivial causes that nobody even remembered the original offense.
