A revolutionary's hurt (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ache

'hurt' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'a revolutionary's' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'a'+'che'='ACHE'

(Other definitions for ache that I've seen before include "suffering" , "agony" , "Feel sore" , "painful" , "Dull steady pain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
