Preoccupy (6)

I think it could be either:

obsess

fixate

'preoccupy' is the definition.
(obsessing is a kind of preoccupying)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for obsess that I've seen before include "Plague" , "Prey on" , "Persistently preoccupy" , "Preoccupy continually" , "Constantly worry (about something)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Telegraph, the Penny Press, The Sun, The Guardian, The Times, The Sunday Times, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Independent.
