Trying experience (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ordeal

'trying experience' is the definition.
(an ordeal is a difficult or trying experience)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ordeal that I've seen before include "Tribulation" , "Ancient form of trial" , "A tough time in Laredo" , "Severely trying experience" , "Horrible experience" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Times, The Guardian, the Universal, the Evening Standard and The Telegraph.
