Fibre used for ropes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sisal

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">fibre used for ropes</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for sisal that I've seen before include "Strong rope fibre" , "Plant producing rope" , "Plant fibre used for ropes" , "material for painter, say?" , "Type of fibre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
