With genuine effort (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

actively

'with genuine effort' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for actively that I've seen before include "Vigorously" , "in lively way" , "In an energetic manner" , "Not passively" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and the Sydney Morning Herald.
