Change from the sublime to the ridiculous? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bathos

(Other definitions for bathos that I've seen before include "Unintentional slip from serious to trivial mood" , "Anticlimax by unintentional shift from the sublime to the trivial" , "descent into triviality" , "let-down" , "Anticlimax, descent to something trivial" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
