Acute pain (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smart

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'acute' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'pain' is the second definition.
(smart is a kind of pain)

(Other definitions for smart that I've seen before include "Sting - witty" , "Quick; tidy; sting" , "Brainy" , "Neat - clever" , "Clever or stylish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
