Anguish; true rot (anag.) (7)

I believe the answer is:

torture

(Other definitions for torture that I've seen before include "Inflict pain to extract information" , "Extreme pain" , "Infliction of physical or mental suffering" , "Anguish" , "Infliction of great suffering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
