The phrase is from a Sanskrit treatse, the Kautiliyam Arthaśāstram; a series of works by multiple authors, which scholars say were written between the 2nd century BCE and the 1st century CE, when they were compiled into a single document. It is said that the treatise dealt with statecraft, economic policy, military strategy, and politics.

The opposite of an enemy is an ally, friend, confederate, or supporter.
Ally
The opposite of amigo (friend) is enemigo (enemy).
The word friend has the antonyms enemy, foe, or antagonist.
Enemy
No. There is no such phrase as the "friend of your enemy is your enemy", likely because this is not necessarily true. For example, Saudi Arabia is an enemy to Israel (and vice versa), however, the strongest friend to both of them is the United States. Therefore, the friend of the enemy is a friend, not an enemy. (Usually though the friend of an enemy is likely your enemy too.) The phrase that does have some origin in either Arabic or Chinese proverbs is "The enemy of your enemy is your friend." The Arabic equivalent is 3adu 3adwi hu sadiqi (عدو عدوي هو صديقي), literally meaning, My enemy's enemy is my friend.
The Latin phrase "Nihil melius amico, nihil peius inimico" translates to "No better friend, no worse enemy" in English. In this phrase, "nihil" means "no," "melius" means "better," "amico" means "friend," "peius" means "worse," and "inimico" means "enemy." This phrase emphasizes the importance of loyalty and the potential consequences of betrayal in relationships.
You enemy has a friend, you consider that guy a enemy also so the enemy friend is a enemy
don't you get it? Lets say you have an enemy, and your friend has to hate that person too, so the enemy of your enemy is your friend!
