Trying hard (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

onerous

I believe this is a double definition.

'trying' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

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

(Other definitions for onerous that I've seen before include "Trying" , "Burdensome, oppressive" , "quite a burden if so" , "No euros? That's burdensome" , "Difficult, troublesome" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
