Chimney deposit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soot

'chimney deposit' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for soot that I've seen before include "Chimney coating" , "Deposited carbon" , "Residue from burning" , "Chimney deposit" , "Stuff from chimneys" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror, the Evening Standard and The Daily Mail.
