More tender (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sorer

'more tender' is the definition.
('sore' can be a synonym of 'tender')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sorer that I've seen before include "Comparatively vexed" , "More painful or vexed" , "more resentful" , "more upset" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
