Counterbalance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offset

'counterbalance' is the definition.
(I know that counterbalance is a kind of offset)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for offset that I've seen before include "Amount by which a thing is out of line" , "Compensation; printing technique" , "Counteract to compensate" , "Counterbalance or compensate for" , "make an effort" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, the Penny Press and the LA Times.
