Chemical indicator (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

litmus

'chemical indicator' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for litmus that I've seen before include "Acid-alkali testing substance" , "Acid/alkali test dye" , "Substance used to distinguish between acid and alkali" , "Paper used to test for acid or alkali" , "Colouring material used as a rough acid-base indicator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
