Harshly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

severely

'harshly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for severely that I've seen before include "In rigorous, exacting manner" , "Strictly, harshly" , "Sternly or gravely" , "in a very plain style" , "very badly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
