Work excessively hard (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

slave

'work excessively hard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for slave that I've seen before include "Person owned by another" , "Person owned for work" , "Person who is owned by someone" , "One in bondage" , "Person who is the property of another" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
