Asphalt component (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

'asphalt component' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Sailor - laid on road" , "Black substance, used on roads" , "Tobacco residue; sailor" , "It paves the way" , "Sticky substance - seaman" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
