Dreadful (4)

Ross

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dire that I've seen before include "Ominous; very bad" , "Desperate; dreadful" , "Appalling or extreme" , "Fearful" , "Really dreadful - ride on" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Universal and the Penny Press.
