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.
