Warder hurt gets compensation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reward

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

'warder hurt' is the wordplay.
'hurt' is an anagram indicator.
'warder' is an anagram of 'REWARD'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for reward that I've seen before include "Prize payment" , "Recompense, remunerate" , "Payment for services rendered" , "Drawer (anag.)" , "Gift given to show appreciation of a good deed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
