Breathe heavily (4)

Ross

I think it could be either:

pant

puff

(Other definitions for puff that I've seen before include "Light cake; type of sleeve" , "Light < case" , "Exaggerated praise (for promotional purposes?)" , "Light pastry; some wind" , "Fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the LA Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The Star Tribune and The Mirror.
