Stigma — a mark that hurt blustery old coward (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scaramouch

'blustery old coward' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stigma a mark that hurt' is the wordplay.
'stigma' becomes 'scar' (I've seen this in another clue).
'mark' becomes 'm'.
'that hurt' becomes 'ouch' (I've seen this before).
'scar'+'a'+'m'+'ouch'='SCARAMOUCH'

(Other definitions for scaramouch that I've seen before include "braggart" , "blustery old coward" , "Character who boasted" , "Buffoon" , "Boastful coward in drama" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
