Duck from which down is obtained (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eider

'duck from which down is obtained' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eider that I've seen before include "Duck providing fine down" , "Sea duck with soft down" , "Northern sea duck" , "Downy sea duck" , "Down comes from this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
