Make fun of playfully (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

'make fun of playfully' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Playfully make fun of" , "Banter, provoke gently" , "Playfully provoke" , "Comb to remove tangles and open out the fibres" , "Make fun of; comb wool" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and The Times.
