Provoke playfully (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tease

'provoke playfully' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tease that I've seen before include "Gently rib" , "Irritate playfully" , "Make fun of; comb wool" , "Use a comb" , "Vex" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today and The Times.
