Mistreat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abuse

'mistreat' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for abuse that I've seen before include "Utter insults, attack in words" , "Treat badly; insult" , "Bully" , "Revile" , "Improper treatment" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, The Star Tribune and The New York Times.
