Misuse (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill-treat

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

(Other definitions for ill-treat that I've seen before include "Misuse" , "Subject to cruel or abusive usage" , "Abuse" , "Act cruelly towards (someone)" , "Use someone badly or cruelly" .)

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