Terrify (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scare

'terrify' is the definition.
(I know that terrify is a more specific form of scare)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scare that I've seen before include "Cause fright, alarm" , "Frighten, alarm" , "Startle" , "Greatly frighten" , "Health worry" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The Mirror.
