Pining (8)

Ross

I think it could be either:

yearning

lovelorn

'pining' is the definition.
('yearn' can be a synonym of 'pine')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for yearning that I've seen before include "Longing (for something)" , "Longing, wishing for" , "Feeing great desire" , "Hankering, longing" , "Craving" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Wall Street Journal.
