Tautness (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tension

'tautness' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tension that I've seen before include "Nervous strain" , "Stretched, uneasy, condition" , "Stretched state" , "A pulling strain" , "The effect of force exerted in or on something" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, the Sydney Morning Herald and The Sun.
