Vindictiveness (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spite

'vindictiveness' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for spite that I've seen before include "animosity" , "Malicious desire to hurt or humiliate" , "Bitchiness or malice" , "Desire to intentionally and maliciously hurt or offend" , "Venom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The New York Times.
