Husky (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoarse
'husky' is the definition.
(I know that husky can be written as hoarse)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hoarse that I've seen before include "Of voice, rough and dry" , "Hackney" , "As if with a sore throat" , "in need of throat spray?" , "(Of voice) rough/harsh" .)
