Release payment (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ransom

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">release payment</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ransom that I've seen before include "Kidnapper's payoff" , "A kidnapper demands it" , "Kidnapper's demand" , "Payment demanded for release of captive" , "Rescue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
