Assails (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attacks

'assails' is the definition.
('attack' can be a synonym of 'assail')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for attacks that I've seen before include "Assaults" , "Fiercely criticises" , "Launches assault or criticism" , "Bouts of illness" , "Assails" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
