Hard times (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

adversity

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hard times</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for adversity that I've seen before include "Hard times or misfortune" , "Circumstances that cause trouble or sorrow" , "Misfortune, hardship" , "State of misfortune or affliction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
