Pester, torment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harass

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pester' is the first definition.
(I know that pester is a more specific form of the action bedevil)

'torment' is the second definition.
(I know that torment is a more specific form of the action harass)

(Other definitions for harass that I've seen before include "Nag" , "Trouble and annoy continually" , "Harry" , "Bother and annoy continuously" , "Persistently torment" .)

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