An enemy is a person who actively opposes someone or something. The Latin word inimicus, meaning "hostile, unfriendly," is the root of enemy, and it comes from the prefix in-, or "not," and amicus, "friend:" an enemy is "not a friend." When two armies fight, they think of the opposing army as the enemy [Vocabulary.com].
A person who hates or opposes another person and tries to harm them or stop them from doing something [Cambridge Dictionary].
