Annoying or troublesome person or thing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nuisance

I believe this is a double definition.

'annoying or troublesome person' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'thing' is the second definition.
(I have seen 'Troublesome thing ' mean 'nuisance' so perhaps 'thing' could also mean 'nuisance')

(Other definitions for nuisance that I've seen before include "Annoying or troublesome person or thing" , "Pest, source of annoyance" , "One causing annoyance" , "It causes inconvenience or annoyance" , "Annoying thing/person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
