Making an effort (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trying

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for trying that I've seen before include "Making an effort - but annoying" , "work on bench" , "occupation of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jnr" , "Troublesome - but making an effort" , "irksome" .)

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