Athlete on a salary (3)

I believe the answer is:

pro

(Other definitions for pro that I've seen before include "Prefix meaning for" , "Expert (abbr)" , "Favouring the professional" , "Preposition meaning for, in favour of" , "Top player" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
