Deserved comeuppance (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

karma

(Other definitions for karma that I've seen before include "Destiny (good or bad!)" , "Actions determining destiny" , "Fate; result of one's past deeds" , "Hindu principle determining fate in re-incarnation" , "(Of angle) more than ninety degrees, insensitive" .)

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