Dummy pill (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

placebo

'dummy pill' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for placebo that I've seen before include "Innocuous medication; palliative" , "Innocuous or inert medication" , "Measure purely to calm or humour another" , "ineffective medicine" , "Medicine working by psychology only" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Sun, The Independent, The Telegraph and The Mirror.
