Assaulted (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

attacked

'assaulted' is the definition.
('attack' can be a synonym of 'assault')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for attacked that I've seen before include "Roasted" , "Launched an assault" , "was trying to score" , "Assailed, set upon" , "Assailed, assaulted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Irish Times.
