Pet problem? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peeve

'pet problem?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for peeve that I've seen before include "Cause resentment" , "Vex" , "Cause annoyance" , "upset" , "Cause to be annoyed, irritated, or resentful" .)

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