Troublesome element of peasantry in Germany (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trying

'troublesome' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'element of peasantry in germany' is the wordplay.
'element of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen this in other clues).
'TRYING' is hidden within 'peasantry in germany'.

(Other definitions for trying that I've seen before include "occupation of Oliver Wendell Holmes Jnr" , "Attempting or irritating" , "job for a jury?" , "Upsetting" , "Troublesome - but making an effort" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
