He lives in torment (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'torment' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'he lives' is the wordplay.
'lives' becomes 'll' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'he'+'ll'='HELL'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hell that I've seen before include "Abode of the forces of evil" , "Hades, the netherworld" , "Beelzebub's home" , "Place of suffering" , "Satan's realm" .)
