Severe food shortage (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

famine

'severe food shortage' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for famine that I've seen before include "Severe food scarcity" , "Extreme scarcity of food" , "Widespread scarcity of food" , "Hunger" , "A great shortage as of food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Evening Standard, the Family Time and The Mirror.
