Hit sharply (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

swat

slap

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for swat that I've seen before include "Crush (eg, a fly)" , "Hit a wasp or fly" , "Strike sharply (at fly?)" , "land crushing blow" , "Kill (fly)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
