Card-game stake (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ante

'card-game stake' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ante that I've seen before include "advance payment" , "Initial bet" , "Gaming stake" , "Pay" , "Advance stake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Thinks.com, the Universal, the USA Today and the Penny Press.
