Denoting a word coined for one occasion (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nonce

(Other definitions for nonce that I've seen before include "One serving prison sentence" , "The present time" , "what you may call a one-off" , "never repeated such a word" , "The moment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
