Obsessive and persistent fear of something (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phobia

'obsessive and persistent fear of something' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for phobia that I've seen before include "Irrational hatred" , "Extreme and irrational fear" , "Anxiety disorder" , "Pathological fear" , "Great fear of something" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
