Bit of ointment (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dab

'bit of ointment' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for dab that I've seen before include "Flounder" , "[SOMETHING FISHY]" , "Press gently; flatfish" , "Apply small amounts (usually a liquid) to a surface" , "Digital radio" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
