Thorn (7)

I think it could be either:

prickle

pricker

'thorn' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for prickle that I've seen before include "may be a bit of a pain" , "sharp point" , "Short spine" , "Stinging sensation" , "Spine, thorn" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal, The Telegraph, The Sun, The Independent and The Guardian.
