144 without deductions (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gross

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'144' is the first definition.
(gross can mean the number 144)

'without deductions' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for gross that I've seen before include "Inclusive - repulsive" , "one-hundred and fourty-four" , "figure well over a ton" , "Repulsively large" , "Rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
