"Able was I ___ ..." (start of a palindrome) (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ere

(Other definitions for ere that I've seen before include "Old prior" , "Archaic word for before - a palindrome" , "Before (in time)" , "Before (poetic)" , "One who steals" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
