A hostile amendment is an amendment to a motion that changes or defeats the purpose or direction of the motion.

For example:

A motion that is moved and seconded reads, "we condemn the President's actions on July 4th."

A hostile amendment would be to strike condemn and replace with endorse.

The amendment for all intents and purposes defeats the motion.
