Crossword Genius

Badger, hound, and nag (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harass

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'badger' is the first definition.
('harass' can be a synonym of 'badger')

'hound' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' is a link.

'nag' is the third definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for harass that I've seen before include "Vex - pester" , "bait" , "Vex - persecute" , "Annoy persistently, persecute" , "Disturb < badger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
