Aggravate (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

inflame

provoke

'aggravate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for provoke that I've seen before include "Irritate - arouse" , "Incense" , "Make angry or incite to action" , "Deliberately annoy" , "needle" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Independent.
