Minor difficulty (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hiccup

'minor difficulty' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hiccup that I've seen before include "slight setback" , "Minor setback" , "Involuntary glottal closure" , "Sudden throat sound or minor mishap" , "Temporary setback (colloq.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times, The Mirror, The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard and The Times.
