Contractor's fig (3)

I believe the answer is:

est

(Other definitions for est that I've seen before include "self-improvement programme" , "Time Americans adopted" , "psychological programme" , "Suffix showing superlative" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the USA Today, the New York Times, the LA Times and the L.A. Times Daily.
