Desert illusion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mirage

'desert illusion' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for mirage that I've seen before include "unreal" , "Illusory sighting" , "Deceptive image, in the desert say" , "You might see this in desert" , "Illusory image" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times, The Times and the USA Today.
