Severely injure (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

maim

'severely injure' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for maim that I've seen before include "Hurt badly" , "Wound or injure, disable" , "seriously hurt!" , "Injure (a person), causing permanent disability" , "Wound and cripple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal and The Washington Post.
