Flailed (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thrashed

'flailed' is the definition.
('thrash' can be a synonym of 'flail')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for thrashed that I've seen before include "Beat violently" , "severely punished" , "Beaten soundly" , "Beat soundly" , "given whitewashing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
