Torture (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torment

'torture' is the definition.
(I know that torture can be written as torment)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for torment that I've seen before include "Persecute" , "Agony of mind" , "Cause mental distress" , "Punish" , "Physical or mental pain" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
