Very much (8)

Ross

'very much' is the definition.
(eg to pay dearly is to pay very much)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dearly that I've seen before include "At a high price - with fondness" , "Extremely - devotedly - at great cost" , "At high cost" , "Very much; at great cost" , "with much suffering" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, The Independent, The Daily Mail, the Sydney Morning Herald, The New York Times, the USA Today, the Evening Standard, The Guardian and The Wall Street Journal.
