2022 Cate Blanchett film (3)

I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Sailor - laid on road" , "Viscous liquid; sailor" , "Dark viscid substance" , "Sailor and dressing for roads" , "Black coat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The Wall Street Journal.
