Most of the definitions here are embarrassingly incorrect; hostile means "antagonistic", "contentious", "combative", "unfriendly", "antisocial", "belligerent", "unsympathetic", "scrappy", "quarrelsome," "disagreeable".

Hostile basically means "of or relating to an enemy"; unfriendly or inhospitable.

2. very unfavorable to life or growth (hostile conditions)
