ordeal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'nothing right about transaction' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'o' (looks like zero - 0).
'right' becomes 'R' (common abbreviation).
'about transaction' becomes 'deal' (deal is a kind of transaction. I am not sure about the 'about' bit.).
'o'+'r'+'deal'='ORDEAL'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ordeal that I've seen before include "Severe trial" , "Ancient form of trial" , "very hard test" , "Difficult experience, a tough time" , "Loader (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
