- on gets you the whole word, and the neatness of that is part of why the prefix earns its keep: no separate root to learn, no irregularity, and the relationship between friend and enemy is on the page. In military prose behaves like English the enemy, a collective singular for the opposing force. Do not read as built from , to hate, even though the two look related and sit close in meaning. Also useful: is enmity or hostility, and as an adjective means hostile.
