Harass — pester (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

hassle

chivvy

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'harass' is the first definition.
(I know that harass can be written as hassle)

'pester' is the second definition.
(I know that pester is a more specific form of the action bedevil)

(Other definitions for hassle that I've seen before include "badger" , "Annoying trouble" , "An informal quarrel or upset" , "Les has (anag) - a great deal of trouble" , "Pester (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Irish Times and The Times.
