Send SAS off to get hurt (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sadness

'hurt' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'send sas off' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'send'+'sas'='sendsas'
'sendsas' with letters rearranged gives 'SADNESS'.

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sadness that I've seen before include "Unhappy feeling" , "distress" , "Depression" , "Sorrowfulness" , "no joy there" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
