Laborious effort (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

travail

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">laborious effort</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for travail that I've seen before include "In old use, the pains of childbirth" , "Hard work" , "Labour, toil" , "Exertion, elbow grease" , "Painful or laborious effort, like childbirth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
