Desperate (4)

Ross

There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4

8 2-2-3 7*

'desperate' is the definition.
(I know that desperate can be written as dire)

(Other definitions for dire that I've seen before include "to speak (13) [FRENCH]" , "Ride in dreadful state" , "Frightful" , "Really dreadful - ride on" , "'Dreadful, awful (4)'" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, The Star Tribune and The Independent.
