Jerked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yanked

'jerked' is the definition.
('yank' can be a synonym of 'jerk')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for yanked that I've seen before include "Pulled with sudden sharp tug" , "Pulled sharply" , "Tugged sharply at" , "Pulled hard at, gave sudden tug" , "Jerked vigorously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
