Austerity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rigour

(Other definitions for rigour that I've seen before include "Excessive severity" , "Extreme care and thoroughness" , "Severity, harshness" , "Austerity - strictness" , "Severity or strictness, perhaps of the law" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
