Destitution (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

penury

'destitution' is the definition.
(I know that destitution can be written as penury)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for penury that I've seen before include "Extreme destitution" , "Real poverty" , "Extreme poverty or indigence" , "Destitution, need" , "Indigence, destitution" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
