Make sore by rubbing (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chafe

'make sore by rubbing' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for chafe that I've seen before include "Make sore or warm by rubbing" , "feel irritated" , "Wear away by rubbing" , "are galling" , "Rub, irritate" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and The Independent.
