Emphasise tension (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stress

I believe this is a double definition.

'emphasise' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'tension' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for stress that I've seen before include "Force" , "Emotional tension" , "'Strain, tension (6)'" , "Tension, pressure" , "possible excuse for sickie?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
