Dry in half a jiffy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sec

This clue is a double definition.

'dry' is the first definition.
(similar in meaning)

'half a jiffy' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for sec that I've seen before include "sparkling?" , "'Dry, as wine (3)'" , "(Of wines) dry" , "Dry wine perhaps" , "sort of function" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
