Break violently (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smash

'break violently' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for smash that I've seen before include "Violently break into pieces" , "Ruin; big (success)" , "tremendous success!" , "Break suddenly into little pieces" , "very successful hit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard, the Penny Press and The Times.
