Emetic -- damn awful cure! (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medicament

'cure' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'emetic damn awful' is the wordplay.
'awful' is an anagram indicator.
'emetic'+'damn'='emeticdamn'
'emeticdamn' anagrammed gives 'MEDICAMENT'.

(Other definitions for medicament that I've seen before include "Healing substance" , "drug?" , "Curative substance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
