Absorbent fabric (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

terry

'absorbent fabric' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for terry that I've seen before include "Cloth to make towels" , "Towelling fabric" , "(Rhyming) man's name" , "A man" , "Loop of pile fabric; England footballer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Chronicle of Higher Education, the Penny Press, the L.A. Times Daily, the Universal, the Wall Street Journal, the Newsday.com and The Washington Post.
