Bad result hurt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offend

'hurt' is the definition.
('offend' can be a synonym of 'hurt')

'bad result' is the wordplay.
'bad' becomes 'off' (I've seen this before).
'result' becomes 'end' (I've seen this before).
'off'+'end'='OFFEND'

(Other definitions for offend that I've seen before include "Cause displeasure to, bruise feelings" , "Outrage" , "Commit crime - hurt feelings" , "Distress" , "Insult - act criminally" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Guardian.
