I believe the answer is:

tension

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tautness</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(synonyms)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for tension that I've seen before include "Nervous strain" , "Stretched, uneasy, condition" , "Stretched state" , "A pulling strain" , "The effect of force exerted in or on something" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate and The Telegraph.
