Painful contraction of a muscle (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cramp

(Other definitions for cramp that I've seen before include "Involuntary and painful contraction of a muscle" , "Sudden painful tightening of a muscle" , "Give too little space to" , "Painful muscle problem" , "development of vice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
