Suffering victim (6)

I believe the answer is:

martyr

(Other definitions for martyr that I've seen before include "One killed for faith" , "Person dying for a cause" , "One dying for their faith" , "Person who dies for a cause" , "One suffering for beliefs" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
