Critical moment? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crunch

'critical moment?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for crunch that I've seen before include "Informally, a decisive event or showdown" , "moment of difficulty" , "Bite noisily - moment of decision" , "Decisive moment" , "Crush noisily" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
