Mock playfully (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

'mock playfully' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Comb or card (wool)" , "Make fun of; comb wool" , "Make playful fun of (someone)" , "Guy" , "Cod" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, The Mirror and the Newsday.com.
