Whet (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sharpen

'whet' is the definition.
(I know that whet is a is a more specific form of the action sharpen)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sharpen that I've seen before include "instrument secured by former nurse" , "Put a point on" , "Whet" , "Raise pitch of" , "Hone (a knife blade)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The Times and The Sunday Times.
