Burglar's bane (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alarm

'burglar's bane' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for alarm that I've seen before include "Device to signal danger" , "Deep concern" , "Clock that wakes the sleeper" , "Noise giving warning" , "Tocsin" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the King Feature Syndicate.
