Severe trial (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordeal

'severe trial' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ordeal that I've seen before include "Tough test in Laredo" , "Long, unpleasant experience" , "Struggle" , "A difficult or harrowing time" , "Torment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the Universal, the Penny Press, The Sun, the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
