Curve toucher (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tangent

(Other definitions for tangent that I've seen before include "Particular line" , "mostly irrelevant item" , "Straight line touching a circle" , "Completely different line of thought - trigonometrical function" , "Line touching circumference" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
