Tormenting (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teasing

'tormenting' is the definition.
(teasing is a kind of tormenting)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for teasing that I've seen before include "Making fun of in a playful way" , "Ribbing" , "Mocking" , "flirting maybe" , "Making fun of (someone)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
