Lioness licked wounds (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lesions

'wounds' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lioness licked' is the wordplay.
'licked' indicates an anagram (lick can mean to beat or hit).
'lioness' is an anagram of 'LESIONS'.

(Other definitions for lesions that I've seen before include "Injuries" , "Wounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
