Like Othello or Oedipus, say? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tragic

(Other definitions for tragic that I've seen before include "Calamitous, causing great sadness" , "Characterised by extreme distress or sorrow" , "like King Lear" , "Disastrous, appalling" , "Deeply distressing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
