Strenuous effort against odds (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

struggle

'strenuous effort against odds' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for struggle that I've seen before include "Strive; difficult task" , "Uphill battle" , "Make strenuous efforts to overcome" , "Contend; very hard task" , "Strive - proceed with difficulty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
