Tantalised (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teased

'tantalised' is the definition.
('tease' can be a synonym of 'tantalize')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for teased that I've seen before include "Tantalized" , "Gently ribbed" , "Made mild fun of, bantered" , "Tantalised or annoyed goodnaturedly" , "Needled in sedate way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and the Evening Standard.
