Mistreating (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abusing

'mistreating' is the definition.
('abuse' can be a synonym of 'mistreat')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abusing that I've seen before include "Treating badly" , "Swearing" , "Taking undue advantage of and reviling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
