Dry heave (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

retch

'dry heave' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for retch that I've seen before include "Try to vomit" , "Strain throat as if vomiting" , "Sound and seem to vomit" , "Try to be sick" , "Strain as if to vomit" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Jonesin', The Guardian and the Jonesin Crosswords.
