Crossword Genius

Seen in context, remedy’s drastic (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extreme

'drastic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'seen in context remedy's' is the wordplay.
'seen in' indicates a hidden word.
'EXTREME' can be found hidden inside 'context remedys'.

(Other definitions for extreme that I've seen before include "not near the centre" , "Inordinate" , "Very intense - way-out" , "Acute, maximum" , "sheer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
