Seek retribution, in a way (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sue

'seek retribution in a way' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sue that I've seen before include "Prosecute at law" , "Apply" , "Litigious girl" , "Start proceedings against (someone)" , "Susan (dim.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
