Basic commodity (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staple

'basic commodity' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for staple that I've seen before include "Principle - fixer" , "Basic element" , "It holds fast" , "Clip" , "e.g. rice, sweetcorn ..." .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
