Teased (6)
I believe the answer is:
ragged
'teased' is the definition.
('rag' can be a synonym of 'tease')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for ragged that I've seen before include "Of clothes, frayed and torn" , "Played practical jokes - in tatters" , "Scruffy" , "taunted" , "Old and torn, clothes say" .)
