Scourge (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bane

'scourge' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bane that I've seen before include "A fatal poison" , "Blight" , "Cause of distress, ruin" , "Cause of great distress in a bean" , "Curse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times and The Guardian.
