Work like the devil? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

possess

'work like the devil?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for possess that I've seen before include "Have as one's own" , "Have and hold" , "Own, keep" , "influence" , "Consume" .)

I've seen this clue in the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times.
