Tease, bait (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taunt

This clue is a double definition.

'tease' is the first definition.
(I know that tease can be written as taunt)

'bait' is the second definition.
(I know that bait can be written as taunt)

(Other definitions for taunt that I've seen before include "Make fun of" , "Mock, jeer" , "Sarcastic challenge" , "Bait with insulting remarks" , "Goad, provoke" .)

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