Tease actor mentioning clothes (7)
I believe the answer is:
torment
'tease' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'actor mentioning clothes' is the wordplay.
'clothes' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the letters clothe the hidden word).
'TORMENT' is hidden within 'actor mentioning'.
(Other definitions for torment that I've seen before include "Severe pain" , "Great suffering" , "Harass" , "Pester annoyingly" , "Pester in a cruel way" .)
