Tantalizes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teases

'tantalizes' is the definition.
(teasing is a kind of tantalizing)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for teases that I've seen before include "Provokes in playful manner" , "Vexes playfully" , "Makes fun of in a playful way" , "baits" , "Provokes in playful way" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The Star Tribune.
