[5] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
enemy, international law. by this term is understood the whole body of a 
nation at war with another. it also signifies a citizen or subject of such a 
nation, as when we say an alien enemy. in a still more extended sense, the 
word includes any of the subjects or citizens of a state in amity with the 
united states, who, have commenced, or have made preparations for commencing 
hostilities against the united states; and also the citizens or subjects of 
a state in amity with the united states, who are in the service of a state 
at war with them. salk. 635; bac. ab. treason, g. 
     2. an enemy cannot, as a general rule, enter into any contract which 
can be enforced in the courts of law; but the rule is not without 
exceptions; as, for example, when a state permits expressly its own citizens 
to trade with the enemy; and perhaps a contract for necessaries, or for 
money to enable the individual to get home, might be enforced. 7 pet. r. 
586. 
     3. an alien enemy cannot, in general, sue during the war, a citizen of 
the united states, either in the courts of, the united states, or those of 
the several states. 1 kent, com. 68; 15 john. r. 57 s. c. 16 john. r. 438. 
vide marsh. ins. c. 2, s. 1; park. ins. index. h.t.; wesk. ins. 197; phil. 
ins. index. h.t.; chit. comm. law, index, h.t.; chit. law of nations, 
index, h.t. 
     4. by the term enemy is also understood, a person who is desirous of 
doing injury to another. the latins had two terms to signify these two 
classes of persons; the first, or the public enemy, they called hostis, and 
the latter, or the private enemy, inimicus.
