Prolonged attack (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

siege

'prolonged attack' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for siege that I've seen before include "seat" , "Persistent attempt to gain" , "Blockade of a town or fortress" , "Surrounding and blockading of town by military" , "Blockade of a fortified place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today and the Universal.
