What is the meaning of "harbor ill feeling"? How to use it speaking or writing? I looked it up in dictionaries but wasn't able to find any definition or explanation about it. I am wondering if it is commonly used in modern English.

Think of how a harbor contains/holds/shelters boats. The noun "harbor" and the verb harbor both imply holding or containg in this case "harbor" is used as a verb "harbor ill feelings" means "to keep bad emotions towards another" in a word: resentment Ex: I've harbored ill feeling towards my neighbor ever since he chopped down my cherry tree.
