Demoralize (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dispirit

'demoralize' is the definition.
(I know that demoralize can be written as dispirit)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dispirit that I've seen before include "Deject, dishearten" , "Make hopeless" , "Discourage" , "Cause to feel low or depressed" , "Cause to be downhearted" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, the Newsday.com, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
