Pestered, bothered (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harassed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'pestered' is the first definition.
(I know that pestered can be written as harassed)

'bothered' is the second definition.
(harassing is a kind of bothering)

(Other definitions for harassed that I've seen before include "Pestered continually" , "Pestered; under strain" , "in a state of torment" , "Plagued" , "Constantly tormented" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
