Made worse (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aggravated

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">made worse</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">('aggravate' can be a synonym of 'make worse')</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for aggravated that I've seen before include "Made worse" , "Worsened" , "Made (offence) more serious (legal)" , "Annoyed" , "made more severe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
