I will shortly get accustomed to being maltreated (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill-used

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

'i will shortly get accustomed' is the wordplay.
'i will shortly' becomes 'Ill' (abbreviation; 'shortly' indicates a short form).
'get' says to put letters next to each other.
'accustomed' becomes 'used' (I've seen this before).
'ill'+'used'='ILL-USED'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for ill-used that I've seen before include "Badly treated, exploited" , "Maltreated" , "Mistreated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
