Lament verge I hit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grieve

'lament' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'verge i hit' is the wordplay.
'hit' is an anagram indicator.
'verge'+'i'='vergei'
'vergei' is an anagram of 'GRIEVE'.

(Other definitions for grieve that I've seen before include "Feel intense sorrow at someone's death" , "Suffer great sorrow" , "Mourn, lament" , "Mourn, feel sorrow" , "Cause great distress to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
