Bane (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scourge

'bane' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for scourge that I've seen before include "Whip - bane" , "Flog, punish" , "form of punishment" , "Whip; source of suffering" , "cat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The New York Times and The Sun.
