Grind harshly (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grate

'grind harshly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for grate that I've seen before include "Shred - jar" , "Rasp; shred" , "Grind (teeth)" , "Make a harsh rasping sound" , "Grind (cheese)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
