Hit heavily (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thump

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for thump that I've seen before include "clobber" , "(Sound of) heavy blow" , "Hit (with fist)" , "Common feature of Boxing" , "Punch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and The Times.
