Quality evoking pity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pathos

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">quality evoking pity</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for pathos that I've seen before include "Hot spa (anag) - sadness" , "feeling of pity" , "Quality arousing pity" , "Quality eliciting pity and sympathy" , "Literary style arousing feelings of sorrow and sympathy" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate and The Guardian.
