Teased (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragged

'teased' is the definition.
('rag' can be a synonym of 'tease')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ragged that I've seen before include "Of clothes, frayed and torn" , "Played practical jokes - in tatters" , "Scruffy" , "taunted" , "Old and torn, clothes say" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and the Evening Standard.
