Difficulty (7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

trouble

problem

'difficulty' is the definition.
(trouble can mean a difficult situation)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for trouble that I've seen before include "Difficulty; public disorder" , "'A... shared is a... halved'" , "Dire straits" , "Hassle" , "Disturb; unpleasantness" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, the Penny Press, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Sun, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Telegraph.
