Hurt badly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maim

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for maim that I've seen before include "Hurt badly" , "Injure or harm severely" , "Injure seriously, leaving permanent damage" , "Wound and cripple" , "Injure (a person), causing permanent disability" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
