Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordeals

'baptisms by fire' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ordeals that I've seen before include "Difficult experiences, hard times" , "Tribulations" , "difficult tests" , "Trying experiences" , "Testing experiences" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
