Backhander (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bribe

'backhander' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for bribe that I've seen before include "Money offered to corrupt" , "Illegal incentive" , "Sop" , "Sweetener, back-hander" , "Illegal payment in exchange for favour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
