Relief in time of distress (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

succour

'relief in time of distress' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for succour that I've seen before include "Assistance, support" , "Comfort" , "Aid in time of difficulty" , "Help, relief" , "Relief in time of distress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
