Tautened (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tensed

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

(Another definition for tensed that I've seen is " under strain".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
