Make an effort

Ross

I believe the answer is:

'make an effort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for strive that I've seen before include "Venture" , "Make every effort" , "Vie; compete" , "Try extremely hard" , "Work hard - compete" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the Sydney Morning Herald.
