Cry of faux-surprise (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gasp

(Other definitions for gasp that I've seen before include "Fight for breath" , "Gaps in struggle for breath" , "Sudden intake of breath" , "Convulsive breath" , "Short laboured intake of breath" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
