Husky (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoarse
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">husky</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that husky can be written as hoarse)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for hoarse that I've seen before include "Of voice, rough and dry" , "Hackney" , "As if with a sore throat" , "in need of throat spray?" , "(Of voice) rough/harsh" .)
