An encouraging stimulus (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fillip

(Other definitions for fillip that I've seen before include "19, which sounds like a boy's name" , "Encouraging boost" , "shot in the arm" , "'Short, quick stimulus (6)'" , "Encouragement, stimulus" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
