Be contrite about (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rue

'be contrite about' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for rue that I've seen before include "French way" , "Nice way" , "Feel sorry" , "Plant producing oil" , "Regret; road (Fr.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today, The Washington Post, The Sun and the L.A. Times Daily.
