Made an effort (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tried

'made an effort' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tried that I've seen before include "tasted" , "Essayed" , "checked out" , "Attempted" , "Tested" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
