Abrasion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrape

'abrasion' is the definition.
(I know that abrasion can be written as scrape)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scrape that I've seen before include "embarassing situation" , "Bow and . . . . . ., to be servile" , "Rub; (bow and) be humble" , "Scratch the surface in a predicament" , "Awkward situation - be very economical" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Guardian and The New York Times.
