Relief in time of distress (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

succour

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">relief in time of distress</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 succour that I've seen before include "Assistance, support" , "Comfort" , "Aid in time of difficulty" , "Help, relief" , "Relief in time of distress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
