I believe the answer is:

sade

(Other definitions for sade that I've seen before include "The Marquis de . . . . was noted for cruelty" , "Hebrew character" , "letter from Israel?" , "Marquis de ..., famous for taking pleasure in pain" , "Jazz-pop group" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
