Rasping (6)
I believe the answer is:
hoarse
'rasping' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hoarse that I've seen before include "in need of throat spray?" , "(Of voice) rough/harsh" , "Croaky" , "(Of a voice) gruff or husky" , "(Of voice) rough, harsh" .)
