Harass — pester (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

hassle

chivvy

This clue is a double definition.

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

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

(Other definitions for chivvy that I've seen before include "Encourage" , "Annoy continually" , "Harry" , "Pester - chase" , "Badger" .)

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