Become ill again (after initial recovery) (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relapse

(Other definitions for relapse that I've seen before include "Get worse again" , "Fall back into former condition, being pleaser" , "Fall back into sickness" , "Pleaser may slip to earlier state" , "Deterioration after period of improvement" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
