Ross

I believe the answer is:

severity

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">acuteness</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for severity that I've seen before include "Sternness" , "Harshness, asperity" , "Intensity; harshness" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
