Tend terrible damage (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dent

'damage' is the definition.
(dent is a kind of damage)

'tend terrible' is the wordplay.
'terrible' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tend' anagrammed gives 'DENT'.

(Other definitions for dent that I've seen before include "Depression caused by blow" , "TV lexicographer?" , "Surface hollow" , "Slight damage" , "Small hollow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
