Trial by fire (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordeal

'trial by fire' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ordeal that I've seen before include "Difficult and testing experience" , "Long, unpleasant experience" , "trying affair" , "Torment" , "Difficult and painful experience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
