Distressing experience (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ordeal

trauma

'distressing experience' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ordeal that I've seen before include "A tough time or hardship" , "Severe trial" , "Difficult and painful experience" , "Tribulation" , "Long painful experience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
