Revenge (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reprisal

'revenge' is the definition.
(I know that reprisal is a type of revenge)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reprisal that I've seen before include "Act of retaliation or vengeance" , "Retaliation for an injury" , "Retaliatory action against an enemy" , "comeback" , "Tit for tat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
