Nervous strain (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tension

'nervous strain' is the definition.
(I know that tension is a type of nervous strain)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tension that I've seen before include "Intones (anag) - stress" , "Mental or emotional strain" , "Uneasiness" , "Assay" , "The effect of force exerted in or on something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
