Privation (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hardship

'privation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hardship that I've seen before include "Adversity, misfortune" , "Adversity, grimness" , "Severe discomfort, a tough time" , "distress" , "Austerity - affliction" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Irish Independent, The Sun and the Sydney Morning Herald.
